Skills Coach

Overview

Combe Pafford School currently provides specialist education for students aged 9-19 (Years 4-14) with:

• Moderate learning difficulties
• Physical difficulties
• Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• Complex needs

We combine high-quality academic teaching with a strong vocational pathway that continues into our Post-16 provision. Some students study GCSEs; others follow Entry Level or Functional Skills qualifications. Our belief is simple: there are no ceilings to what our young people can achieve.

Our aim is for every student to leave us with meaningful qualifications, confidence in themselves, and the skills they need for independence, work-based employment and adulthood.

The Job and Skills Coach supports Sixth Form students across three pathways by mentoring them in education, employability, independence, and vocational development. They also act as a link between school, home, and employers to help students build skills, confidence, and experience for adulthood, work, or further training.

We are proudly oversubscribed and recognised as a school of choice within Torbay and the surrounding community. Staff benefit from a supportive team ethos, clear routines, strong leadership, and a culture that values professional growth and wellbeing.

If you believe in the potential of every young person and want to make a meaningful difference in the shaping of their lives, we would be delighted to receive your application.

Please note:

The school reserves the right to close this vacancy early should a suitable number of applications be received. We therefore encourage interested candidates to submit their applications promptly, as the post may be filled before the advertised closing date.
