We are seeking to recruit a Learning Coach to join our growing team here at Heart of Birmingham Vocational College.

HBVC is an exciting and innovative college with a reputation for high-quality provision that is responsive to the needs of our learners. Based in Birmingham, we specialise in providing excellent education and support to learners with diverse and additional needs. We offer full-time Study Programmes that provide individualised learning experiences, whilst developing learner’s key employability and supported living skills. Our entire staff team are very passionate about making HBVC a great place for everyone to be and are committed to enabling learners to fulfil their aspirations. We have a unique approach to ensuring everyone feels a part of our college which is reflected in our core values of Openness, Challenge, Excellent, Development and Inclusion.

We have made it our mission to provide an inspirational learning environment for person centred vocational education in a community-based setting, enabling learners to achieve exceptional outcomes. Our vision is to empower our learners to prepare themselves for the next stage of their adult lives by providing them with transferable skills that enable them to become purposeful independent individuals and to find their place in their community.

We are an Ofsted rated 'Good' College; working alongside the senior leadership team and with the college management team you will focus on progress and achievement to make a real impact on learner outcomes and ensure as soon as possible that your area of responsibility within the college is recognised as outstanding.

Working in a class group with our tutors and reporting into our tutors/curriculum managers, you will focus on supporting our learners and facilitating learning both in college and on external work placements. You will support, inspire and encourage our learners to be as independent as possible and work closely with our tutors to create resources and strategies to enable this.

In addition to roles based at our Bromford Campus, I am keen to hear from candidates who may have an interest and/or experience in Horticulture for a Learning Coach position at our new Horticulture Provision based at Edgbaston Priory Tennis Club.
