We have an exciting opportunity for a Job Coach to induct, train, guide and support learners who are on supported internships. Supported Internships are a scheme set up to support those with Educational Health Care Plans (EHCPs) into employment. You will advise and support employers and learners to resolve problems and maximise the benefits to both of the supported internship.

You will have experience of working with employers and finding job placements for young people, alongside knowledge or experience in relation to aspects of assessing, mentoring or coaching people. Level 2 qualifications in literacy and numeracy or equivalent (GCSE Maths & English grade C / 4) are essential and a Level 3 qualification in Advice and Guidance is desirable.

This current post is based primarily at Ipswich Hospital; however, you may be required to work at and travel between sites / campuses.
