This vital role supports the academic progress and personal development of students, helping them to grow into confident, independent learners who go on to achieve outstanding results and progress to exceptional destinations.
As a Progress Mentor, you will lead tutorial groups within a designated faculty area, deliver impactful 1:1 progress tutorials, and work closely with teaching staff, support teams, Faculty Heads, and Senior Leaders. You’ll play a key part in fostering student success by building self-esteem, developing effective study skills, and encouraging goal-setting and resilience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead engaging and meaningful group tutorials within a faculty area.
- Conduct one-to-one progress tutorials to monitor, support, and guide students.
- Use motivational coaching techniques to challenge and inspire students to reach their full academic potential.
- Track and monitor student performance, providing timely and appropriate support.

What We’re Looking For:
- A passionate individual with experience of mentoring or coaching young people.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to motivate and challenge students to achieve their best.
- Experience of working in an educational setting is desirable, but not essential.
- A flexible, proactive, and student-centered approach.
You’ll be part of a supportive team consisting of 4 Progress Mentors and a Lead Progress Mentor. Together, you will drive student achievement and contribute to a vibrant, inclusive college community.
