A training provider with a strong reputation in apprenticeship and vocational delivery is looking for a Functional Skills Coach to join their team on a permanent basis.
Functional Skills Coach | Barnsley (1 day/week) + Remote | £28,000–£32,000 | Permanent
You'll manage a caseload of up to 50 learners aged 16+, delivering Maths and English through a blend of remote sessions and one day per week on-site in Barnsley — with a genuine focus on progress and outcomes rather than just compliance.
This is a role for someone who understands adaptive teaching, knows how to work with learners facing real barriers, and wants to be part of a team that takes quality seriously.
The role:
- Deliver Functional Skills Maths and/or English to learners aged 16+ across remote and face-to-face formats
- Plan and deliver individualised learning journeys informed by initial assessments and diagnostics (Century Tech)

- Contextualise delivery to learners' vocational sectors to drive engagement and retention
- Support learners with SEND and additional learning needs through adaptive teaching strategies
- Intervene early where learners are at risk and maintain accurate, timely records in line with funding requirements
We're looking for:
- Proven experience delivering Functional Skills Maths and/or English to post-16 learners
- Solid understanding of SEND and inclusive/adaptive teaching practice
- Experience using diagnostic assessment tools (Century Tech desirable) and e-portfolio platforms (OneFile preferred)
- Familiarity with Ofsted's Education Inspection Framework
- Teaching qualification (PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or equivalent) — desirable but not essential
- Enhanced DBS required (or willingness to obtain)
What's on offer:
- £28,000–£32,000 salary
- Predominantly remote with one day per week in Barnsley
- 35 days leave (25 days + bank holidays + birthday + Christmas shopping day)
- Westfield Health Plan (post-probation) and Health Assured from day one
- Early finish on the second Friday of every month
