Learning Coach

Coombeshead Academy are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, skilled and highly relational Learning Coach to be part of the intervention provision as part of our inclusive SEND and wider foundational knowledge strategy at Coombeshead Academy.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a proactive role in the support of the educational, social, emotional and physical needs of the students identified with SEND to eliminate their learning gaps and raise their expectations to achieve their full potential. Some students may need physical support and intimate care.

Coombeshead Academy is an inspirational and inclusive place to work and visitors to the school consistently comment on the warmth, behaviour and qualities of our young people.

At Coombeshead Academy, we are committed to ensuring that every pupil develops the confidence and understanding needed to access the full breadth of the secondary curriculum and future opportunities.

The role will involve working directly with pupils in class and through small group and 1:1 intervention work.

• The opportunity to work in a school where all staff are viewed as part of a family.
• A school where inclusivity and high expectations sit at the heart of everything we do.
• The opportunity to play a key role in shaping and leading numeracy intervention across the school.
• A highly supportive SEND team led by experienced middle and senior leaders.
• The chance to work within a Trust-wide strategy grounded in strong educational research and evidence-informed practice.
• High quality professional development and training opportunities, including intervention programmes and assessment approaches.
• A school where leaders genuinely care about staff wellbeing and work‑life balance.
• A disruption‑free learning environment supported by clear systems and routines.
• Opportunities to collaborate and share practice across Education South West schools and networks.

If you have a genuine passion for supporting young people, believe every child can succeed and enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues and families, we would welcome your application.
