Leg Up coaching is available to all BEVA members within their first five years of graduation. 

After being matched to one of our coaches, your coach will contact you directly to arrange your sessions. These sessions can last for up to 12 months and you can expect to receive up to 10 coaching sessions within this time. Each session will typically take place online, via Zoom or similar, and last for up to an hour. 

Your coach will discuss your career and professional development. They have undergone robust training to help support you by asking and listening to you. 

Coaching provides a support network for individuals to grow and develop.

Your coach will provide you with a kind of support distinct from any other by focusing solely on your situation. They will listen to you and build conversations that will help them understand who you are, what you think, and how you experience the world. Coaching conversations help coachee's reflect and think about their options so they can come to their own considered decisions about their careers.

By taking part in a coaching programme you will benefit by:

• having an increased sense of resilience
• having an improved sense of direction
• having an increased self awareness
• having increased motivation for your job
