The ideal candidate for the Multiply Suffolk Coach role will be someone who is enthusiastic about supporting people to improve their functional numeracy.

The Multiply Suffolk Coach will deliver clear pathways for Multiply Suffolk learners with the opportunity to take steps towards breaking down barriers to work and health alongside being able to increase understanding and confidence in numeracy.

You will need to be an engaging, motivated and innovative professional who will deliver a bespoke, holistic and integrated coaching service for adults with disabilities and health conditions. Knowledge of and strong links within your local community is critical to the success of the delivery of this service. It is important that you have a good understanding of coaching and how to adapt theories and tools to meet the needs of learners alongside knowledge of local labour market trends to give appropriate information advice and guidance (IAG). Strong organisational skills and the ability to accurately record data are integral to the role.
