Term Time Only, Permanent

Required for April 2018

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Outreach Co-ordinator to work with a committed team of professionals at New River College Pupil Referral Unit (PRU). This role is suitable for an experienced teacher, education psychologist, or relevant local authority professional. The successful candidate will provide leadership and co-ordination for an outreach service from the PRUs, working in partnership with senior management from the PRU and other service leads.

The post holder will manage an established team of teachers and mentors who support all Islington schools in relation to behaviour management around whole school objectives and where appropriate for individual pupils. The successful candidate will lead a team who will work in the PRU and school settings. In partnership with Islington’s social inclusion service, the post holder will identify pupils who may need additional support before being referred to the borough’s Securing Education Board (which acts as the local authority’s fair access panel). 

New River College is comprised of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical), for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD). We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEBD or medical needs. We also provide outreach support to build capacity in mainstream schools to manage children and young people with SEBD.

This is a good opportunity for someone with a passion and commitment for improving outcomes for children. It would suit a skilled and experienced education professional who is looking for a challenge and an opportunity to enhance their career.
