Join our team as a Student Engagement and Wellbeing Coach
Are you passionate about supporting young people to overcome barriers and thrive both academically and personally? We are seeking a dedicated and empathetic Student Wellbeing & Engagement Coach to join our dynamic team.

- You will need to work independently, manage a diverse caseload, and respond to crisis situations.
- Knowledge of safeguarding and referral pathways, including CaMHS and local support agencies.
- Relevant qualification(s) in mental health, counselling, social work, youth work, or similar (desirable).
