Skills Coach

Young People’s Learning Team at Hampshire Achieves is dedicated to supporting young people with additional needs as they prepare for a successful transition into adult life. We do this by delivering high‑quality Pathways and Supported Internship programmes that help build resilience, knowledge and practical skills. The programmes combine classroom learning, outdoor education and real‑world work experience to provide meaningful and lasting opportunities for our learners.

The team works across three hubs – Basingstoke, Fareham and Winchester – and you will be based in one of these locations depending on your role and area of focus.

• Offering tailored support in literacy, numeracy and digital skills.
• Building strong, supportive, positive relationships with learners, using a strength‑based approach to help them grow in confidence and independence.
• Providing 1:1 and small‑group support in the classroom, helping learners complete tasks and develop essential skills.
• Using coaching techniques to guide and help learners become confident, independent and resilient.
• Working alongside Tutors to support the design and delivery of Individual Learning Plans (ILPs), identifying learning gaps and providing targeted support.
• Supporting annual reviews for your caseload of learners, ensuring their objectives are reflected in ILPs and group profiles.
• Assisting learners in the workplace, offering support to both the learner and employer to ensure a successful placement. You will act as a key link between learner, employer and Tutor.

This role offers a rewarding chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people across the county. You may be required to travel across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, so flexibility is essential.
