Pastoral Leader

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented Pastoral Leader to join our team of dedicated staff at North East Essex Co-operative Academy. We are an Alternative Provision School for pupils aged 5-16, most of whom have found it difficult to be successful in a mainstream school. We are very proud of the provision we offer, which is down to the great work our teachers and support staff do to re-engage young people with education. Students are taught in small groups enabling them to make good progress as teachers can ensure the learning is tailored to individual student needs.

At Key Stage 3, in partnership with local schools, we focus on supporting young people to return to a mainstream school. At Key Stage 4, we focus on providing the opportunity for students to gain 5 GCSEs to ensure a successful transition to post 16 education or training. Many of the young people who attend NEECA arrive here at a point of crisis or conflict in their lives. It is our aim to ensure that we help them to regain a sense of confidence and self-esteem which allows them to compete on equal terms with their peers, despite the disruption to their education caused by leaving mainstream school.

It is a very exciting time for the school as we have just moved into our brand new building. This has been a multi-million pound capital build programme and we are really excited that our students have a school they can be proud of. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be part of a team of staff that are shaping our vision for the future.
