The Role

You will join other members of the team who work with schools, social workers, and carers.

Your actions will be varied and will require determination to secure outcomes.

You will provide direct advice, support, and training to a range of professionals and ensure that the termly PEP is completed by all. There will be differences and complexities in situations, so you will need to be creative and innovative to ensure the best next step is identified and taken. You will manage information from different sources to ensure that it is up to date and readily available; responding to general inquiries and providing specialist advice.

One of the vacancies also focuses on children who have left care on an order – adoption order, special guardianship, or child arrangement order, and those in a kinship arrangement. This focus is specifically on providing advice and support about education, liaising with the adults in the lives of these children.

You will join a changing team, forming part of a new structure that includes an operational Deputy Head teacher. In this, you will be well supported as you learn your new role.
