The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how long work coaches stay in role after training on average.

Answered by Alison McGovern

Work Coaches undergo an intensive training period, peer support and a robust quality assurance process conducted by Line Managers throughout their onward delivery.

Whilst we hold data on Work Coach leavers per month, we do not hold data on the length of time in role. Therefore, the information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
