About the Role

At Westbourne School, we know that success starts with relationships. We're looking for a caring, resilient and inspiring Student Support Coach to help our students build confidence, overcome barriers, and achieve more than they ever thought possible.

This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine difference every day. Whether you're helping a young person navigate a challenge, celebrating a breakthrough moment, or supporting them to re-engage with learning, you'll play a vital role in shaping their future.

No two days are the same. One moment you could be coaching a student through a difficult situation, the next supporting them to develop confidence, strengthen friendships, or achieve a personal goal.

What you will be doing

• Building trusted relationships with students and becoming a positive role model.

• Providing one-to-one and small-group mentoring, coaching and pastoral support.

• Helping students develop confidence, resilience, self-regulation and emotional wellbeing.

• Supporting students to overcome barriers to learning and achieve positive outcomes.

• Working alongside teachers and support staff to promote engagement, attendance and success.

• Supporting students during challenging moments and helping them return positively to learning.

• Celebrating achievements and encouraging students to recognise their strengths and potential.

• Working collaboratively with families and external professionals to provide consistent support.

What you will bring

• Builds positive, trusting relationships with young people.

• Has the confidence and resilience to stay calm in challenging situations.

• Can motivate, encourage, and inspire students to achieve their potential.

• Understands how to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, and positive behaviour.

• Is a strong communicator who can work effectively with students, families, and colleagues.

• Brings empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help young people succeed.

• Believes every student deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the barriers they face.

• Driving licence required

Whether your background is in education, youth work, coaching, care, or community support, if you're passionate about making a lasting difference in young people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
