We are looking for a professional, dynamic and flexible Progress Coach to join our Sixth Form team. The successful candidate should be passionate about supporting young people in their learning, demonstrate excellent behaviour management skills and an ‘inclusive ethos’.

Previous experience in a similar role would be desirable, but is not essential, as full training and support will be given. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in a secondary education setting as a full teaching qualification is not a prerequisite. However, a good standard of literacy and numeracy is required, with sound subject knowledge across all areas. This might be demonstrated through educational qualifications or previous professional experience.

The role involves supervising Year 12 and 13 students during their study periods in the Learning Resource Centre. The primary focus will be to maintain good order and keep pupils on task. The successful candidate will need to respond to questions and assist students in working independently. When not supervising study, they will also assist the Sixth form team in the management and preparation of resources or undertake administrative tasks in connection with your role. They will also be asked to cover 6th form tutor groups for registration periods when required.

The Weald is a high-achieving, popular and oversubscribed 11-18 comprehensive school, situated in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, 10 minutes from Horsham, 35 minutes from Guildford and Brighton, and an hour by train to London.  The school has an excellent record of academic and pastoral achievement and we pride ourselves in creating a caring and respectful ethos where every child is important.

If you relish the opportunity of working in a supportive professional environment, The Weald School would welcome your application.  The closing date for applications is 10am on Monday 12 October 2026. Interviews will be held shortly after this date.

Applications should be made by downloading and completing our application form (please see attachments below) and emailing it to jobs@theweald.org.uk
