Curriculum Leader Health & Social Care (including Child Development)

LA-Controlled, Mixed, c200 on roll

A fantastic opportunity for a gifted practitioner looking to move up to middle leadership level. We have made huge strides as an organisation over recent years and are now looking to further strengthen our curriculum provision through appointments to this key post.

‘A welcoming and calm ethos where all students are given the opportunity to achieve their best, irrespective of their background or past difficulties ……………… This is a good school.’ Ofsted (Jan 2014)

You may not have worked in a PRU before but you will have significant experience of and a strong commitment to working with students whose lives have hit a crisis point of some kind. Our students come to us for many reasons – physical ill-health, family issues, psychological difficulties, behaviour issues – but the one thing they all have in common is that they are not able to access regular mainstream schooling. They often arrive to us feeling demoralised and/or angry – and with little expectation of being able to turn things around. Our job is to get them believing in themselves again, learning from what has happened in the past but then putting it behind them and working towards a better future.

If that sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.
