The Team

Dedicated Job Coaches, Lecturers, Senior Teaching Aides and Learning Support Assistants deliver our WorkStart programmes.

Job Coaches are here to set you on the path to your dream job. They will work with you to find out what you enjoy doing and what type of work you want to do. Your staff team will give you advice and support around your options and help you get the experience and qualifications you need.

The team will provide you with:

  • Job search
  • CV writing
  • Interview preparation
  • Support in the workplace
  • Coaching and mentoring
  • Tailored support

 

The Job Coach is totally committed to the students she helps and gives so much time and care to her students. I am astounded how much help and kindness she shows and has given to my son

If it wasn’t for the Job Coach my son would not be in work now and she should be commended. I am totally grateful to her.

Outcomes for learners are outstanding, teaching, learning and assessment are excellent and the extremely diverse programmes that meet learners’ individual needs, interests and aspirations, prepare them very well for life after College.
