Student Success Coach - GCSE

Being part of Nottingham College means playing a vital part in helping thousands of people reach their potential. Together, we’re making a positive difference to our learners, to our communities and to each other. We’re building better futures, for others and for ourselves. Here, you’ll have the freedom to work in a way that suits you, the support to thrive and the opportunity to shape your career.

As a Student Success Coach, you'll play a vital role in helping students overcome barriers, achieve their potential and progress confidently into their next steps.

You’ll work closely with a caseload of students, particularly those with SEND needs, including learners with EHCPs, providing regular one-to-one coaching, guidance and targeted support. Through these 1-1sessions, you'll help students build confidence, improve attendance, develop effective study habits and stay on track to achieve their goals.

Alongside individual support, you'll deliver engaging small-group sessions focused on revision, study skills, exam preparation and academic success for students of all abilities across the campus. You'll also create high-quality learning resources that support achievement across key curriculum areas.

This is a varied and rewarding role that combines academic support, pastoral guidance and student development. You'll work collaboratively with curriculum teams, support staff, parents/carers and external agencies to ensure students receive the right support at the right time.

The role also includes classroom cover responsibilities across a range of subject areas. Depending on operational needs, this may form a significant part of the role, providing an exciting opportunity to work with learners of all abilities and make a positive impact across the wider college community.

We're looking for an enthusiastic, adaptable and student-focused individual who is passionate about helping young people succeed.

You’ll be someone who can build positive relationships quickly, motivate students to overcome challenges and provide the support and encouragement they need to achieve their potential. You’ll have a good understanding of the barriers that can affect students with SEND needs, particularly those with EHCPs, and be committed to creating an inclusive environment where every learner can thrive.

You will be confident working independently with students on a one-to-one basis, facilitating small-group sessions and supporting learning within a classroom environment. Strong communication, organisation and interpersonal skills are essential, along with the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, parents/carers and external partners.

Whether your background is in education, coaching, mentoring, learning support or student services, you’ll bring energy, resilience and a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for young people. Most importantly, you’ll share our belief that every student deserves the opportunity, support and confidence to achieve their ambitions.

We are recruiting for more than one Student Success Coach position, with one role having a particular focus on supporting pre-16 learners as they transition into and progress through college.

We are looking for candidates with knowledge/background in Maths and Social Sciences, however if you do not have this please outline what subject specialism you have.

This post will have a training/induction period and then ongoing training throughout your time with the college to ensure we maintain the highest standards of education for our students and professional development for our staff.
