We are seeking to appoint five essential skills coaches who can work in a newly established team to plan and deliver engaging, interactive, practical sessions to groups of students to build their essential skills in communication, creative problem solving, self-management and collaboration.
This is a pivotal role contributing to the success of NewVIc learners. Research has shown that building these skills has an impact on social mobility, productivity, wellbeing and life satisfaction. If you are passionate about making a contribution to high quality post-16 education and training, then we would love to hear from you.
A warm welcome to NewVIc - a place where all ambitions are celebrated. As one of the largest sixth form colleges in London (more than 3,000 students), we are a non-selective, diverse and secular college, proud to have launched over 50,000 young people onto university, training and employment since we were founded in 1992.
In 2019, the College was graded overall as ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and ‘Outstanding’ for our provision of personal development, behaviour and welfare. We are very proud to be a three-time silver award winner at the Pearson National Teaching Awards, where in 2020, we made history by becoming the first ever provider to win two awards in a single year.
At NewVIc, we have a unique commitment to social impact - which means we support our staff and students to have a positive effect on the world. We believe that everybody has the power to make a positive impact on society - small changes that add up to make the world a better place.
Our motto is: Diverse in Ambition, United in Success
