Join our growing team as a Supported Internship Employment Coach and make a difference to young people (16-25 years) with EHCPs in Berkshire.

• Resilient and pragmatic approach to dealing with people and occasionally challenging situations.
• Locally based with a full UK driving licence and daily access to a car is essential.
