Learning Manager

37 hours per week, term time plus 15 days

Outwood Academy Redcar has been part of the Outwood Grange Academies Trust since October 2017 and is an exceptional place to build your future. Our hard working community is welcoming & friendly; students and staff make excellent progress together, here on the beautiful North Yorkshire coast.

As a Learning Manager you must have the ability to work with students and have a real interest in the issues faced by the students. You will be required to support learning through the use of data, strategic intervention and monitoring in order to maximise student attainment. You will monitor all students in the year group, both academically and behaviourally. You will work closely with the Inclusion Co-coordinator, our Bridge and PLC provision and the Vice Principal Deep Support on Intervention Strategies targeting students for intervention, i.e. coursework completion and other issues which may present a barrier to learning.

Your role will have emphasis on intervention and student tracking throughout the day using the school’s “Praising Stars” system. Excellent communication and listening skills is essential for this post as you will be required to attend safeguarding Case Conferences on behalf of the school and providing feedback to the delegated person where necessary.

The successful candidate must be extremely well organised, have the ability to prioritise work and ensure that strict deadlines are met. The ability to work on your own initiative and be able to lead by example are essential. You will be required to deal with students, parents and outside agencies in a professional, prompt and confidential manner.

The academy benefits from being part of the Outwood Family of Schools, and we intend that every member of staff receives CPD appropriate to the role.

In line with the Government’s announcement, our academy is open with social distancing measures in place. In place of academy-based interviews, we have set up systems to ensure that alternative options are still available via skype/video conferencing wherever possible. Every effort will be made to try and accommodate any specific requirements so that no-one is at a disadvantage, however we are really keen to ensure that you have as much information to proceed with your application as possible, so if you would like a conversation about either the academy or the position please contact the Inclusion Coordinator, Dan Harrison, and we will be happy to assist.
