The role of the Early Years Skills Coach is to teach, coach and support apprentices working within Early Years settings, enabling them to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to achieve their apprenticeship and become confident, competent Early Years practitioners.

The Skills Coach is responsible for delivering a high-quality learning experience throughout the apprenticeship journey, ensuring apprentices make sustained progress and successfully achieve their qualification. This includes providing engaging teaching, coaching and assessment through a blended learning approach that links theory to practice within the Early Years environment.

Working closely with apprentices, employers and workplace mentors, the Skills Coach conducts regular teaching, learning and progress reviews within the workplace, providing tailored support, constructive feedback and stretch and challenge to promote continuous professional development. They ensure apprentices develop the practical skills, professional behaviours and reflective practice needed to meet the requirements of the apprenticeship while maintaining high standards of safeguarding, child development and inclusive practice.
