The SEND Specialist Skills Coach will provide tailored academic and learning support to learners on programme who have identified or emerging additional learning needs. Support may range from one-off targeted interventions (e.g. support with percentages, functional skills, assignment structuring or exam preparation) to regular, ongoing support for learners with more complex needs. The role is critical in enabling learners to fully engage with their apprenticeship programme, make measurable progress, and achieve successful outcomes. The post holder will be responsible for accurately recording all support delivered to ensure compliance with Learning Support Funding (LSF) requirements and DfE apprenticeship funding rules. Support will be delivered through a combination of online and face-to-face sessions.
