Student/Academic Engagement and Wellbeing Coach at The Delta Education Trust

About the role

Student/Academic Engagement and Wellbeing Coach – Delta Bespoke, part of Delta Education Trust. 37 hours per week, Term Time Only, Permanent.

£27,814 to £31,688 per annum, pro rata to £23,802 to £27,117 per annum for term time only working, plus generous pension and sick pay scheme.

Due to expansion, we’re looking for multiple Coaches to cover different areas including the New Forest, Portsmouth and the wider Dorset area, so a full driving licence with business insurance is essential.

Please note: Student allocation will be based on your location to limit the amount of travel.

As an Engagement & Wellbeing Coach, you’ll be the friendly, steady, and supportive presence our students need. You’ll meet them at home or out in the community, helping them rebuild confidence, develop emotional literacy, and re-engage with learning.

It’s a role where no two days are the same – one day you might be encouraging a student to try something new, the next you’re helping them plan a positive transition back into school or college. Always, you’ll be making a real difference.

Key responsibilities:

be the trusted 1:1 coach students need, meeting them at home or in the community to help them re-engage with learning
help students boost their confidence, self-esteem, and emotional literacy so they feel ready to take on new challenges
encourage attendance and keep students motivated, even on the wobbly days
keep an eye on emotional and engagement progress, celebrating the wins and spotting when extra support is needed
work closely with families, schools, and the Delta team to make sure everyone’s on the same page
create and adapt strategies to help students break through barriers and move towards their personal goals
support transitions back into school, college, or other next steps so students feel prepared and supported
keep accurate, up-to-date records and complete any paperwork needed for schools or external agencies (because paperwork is part of the superhero toolkit too)
always put safeguarding first, following Delta Bespoke policies to keep students safe and supported

Further Information

What we’re looking for:

a passionate, empathetic, and resilient individual with a genuine drive to make a difference
someone who can build trust and positive relationships, particularly with young people who have special educational needs, including behavioural, emotional, and social challenges
flexibility, patience, and the ability to adapt to whatever the day throws at you
great communication skills, organisational skills, and a commitment to helping young people grow

Why join us?

the chance to transform lives, one student at a time
a supportive, values driven team who will back you every step of the way
opportunities to develop your skills and career with training and CPD
the joy of knowing your work truly matters

Closing date: 5 September 2025
Interview date: 18 September 2025
