Are you a qualified teacher in further education with experience working with students who have profound and multiple learning disabilities? Do you want to step into a leadership role while maintaining your teaching expertise?
No Limits is part of the national charity MacIntyre. We provide bespoke integrated education and support programmes for children and young people with a learning disability, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.
In 2015 we opened a brilliant new further education centre in Camden, in partnership with Westminster Kingsway College and the London Borough of Camden. At Alexandra Centre, we support young people of college age who have a range of complex behaviours, including autism and/or profound and multiple learning disabilities.
We now want to add to our team as we recruit for an additional Programme Coordinator with experience of working with young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities to play a part in overseeing and implementing this innovative education provision.
About the role
You will manage the planning and implementation of the curriculum, ensuring that a flexible and individual educational programme is developed for each student, and that their learning, social and emotional developmental needs are met in imaginative and original ways. Our focus for our students is on health, employment, independent living and community inclusion. You will spend half of your time delivering learning.
Managing and mentoring a small staff team, you will ensure the successful deployment of staff, physical and financial resources.
About you
In addition to a relevant teaching qualification (CTTLS equivalent at a minimum), you will need experience of teaching students with severe and complex learning disabilities, specifically PMLD or Autism and behaviour that challenges, supporting them to overcome barriers to learning.
You will be able to build relationships across boundaries, with students, your staff team, colleagues, advocates and families.
