Woodlands Campus

Following the continued success of our Personal Development team, we are expanding this provision across all curriculum areas and are looking for an enthusiastic and supportive individual to join Solihull College & University Centre.

The role is a full-time opportunity available within our Motor Vehicle department, working 37 hours per week at our Woodlands Campus.

About the Role

Our Personal Development Coaches are central to the student experience, supporting learners throughout their time at college, helping them to prepare for their next steps, including enrichment activities, work experience, university applications, and life beyond college ensuring they reach their full potential.

In this role, you will lead and deliver a structured tutorial programme within your designated area, working closely with the Head of School to create engaging and meaningful sessions. You will also manage a caseload of students, providing support through both group tutorials and one-to-one mentoring.

The successful applicant will build positive relationships with students, helping them overcome barriers and maintain high standards, while tracking and monitoring student progress, including attendance, academic performance, behaviour, and engagement, identifying concerns early and providing timely support to help students succeed.

Recent experience of working in a Further Education setting in a coaching and/or personal tutoring role, together with experience working with SEND learners would be an advantage.

The College is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community and welcomes applications from individuals across all sectors. We aim to reflect the diversity of our student population in our staff profile, ensuring that we provide the best possible experience and environment for our learners. Our goal is to continue to develop a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive workplace where all staff can thrive.

For the next stage in the process, you will be required to attend the College’s premises, unless exceptional circumstances apply.

Solihull College & University Centre is committed to ensuring a safe environment for all students and expects all staff to engage fully with this commitment.
