Digital Learning Coach

Overview

A unique opportunity to build real teaching experience, develop digital expertise and make a daily difference to young people’s lives.

Stockton Riverside College is a dynamic and ambitious college, proudly rated Outstanding by Ofsted, recognised for delivering exceptional standards of education and training. We offer a comprehensive range of academic, vocational and higher education courses for young people, adult learners, and apprentices. Proudly serving our local community, we are dedicated to helping individuals gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to achieve their full potential. As part of the Education Training Collective (Etc.) which includes Stockton Riverside College, Redcar and Cleveland College, Bede Sixth Form College, NETA Training Group and Innersummit, we work collaboratively across the region to deliver exceptional education, skills and support. ONE Etc – fuelling ambition and driving success in a resurgent Teesside and beyond.

About the Role

This is more than a support role, it’s a chance to step into education, inspire learners and develop your teaching practice in a dynamic and supportive environment.

We are seeking a Digital Learning Coach to join our Learning Resource Centre team.

Responsibilities

• Deliver engaging group and some 1:1 sessions that develop learners’ digital, study and employability skills.
• Support learners to overcome barriers, build confidence and take ownership of their learning.
• Create and share innovative, accessible digital learning resources used across the college.
• Collaborate with curriculum teams and staff to enhance teaching and learning through digital support and training.
• Champion the Learning Resource Centre, contributing to a welcoming, well promoted learning environment through events, activities and displays.

You will play a visible, impactful role in learners’ daily lives, building confidence, independence and digital fluency that prepares them for further study, work and life beyond college.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about education, confident in their digital skills and communication, and motivated by supporting young people to succeed. You’ll bring energy, a positive mindset and a collaborative approach, alongside a strong commitment to Equality, Diversity, Safeguarding and student wellbeing.
