Job overview
We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious individual to lead the academic progress and personal development of our talented Trainees. The Progress & Development Lead will be responsible for supporting Trainees to ensure their learning, behaviour, attendance and personal development allow them to flourish, fulfil their potential and secure their desired next steps.
The Progress & Development Lead will be a key member of the Pastoral Team and will take the lead on day-to-day learning, attendance and behaviour matters, maintaining high expectations and standards across the college. They will be highly visible and known to Trainees, forging positive working relationships and modelling mutual respect. It is through these positive relationships and knowing Trainees as individuals, that the Progress & Development Lead will be able to overcome barriers to success and support Trainees to fulfil their potential.
The Progress & Personal Development Lead will develop and lead a team of Year 12 and Year 13 Tutors who play a pivotal role in fostering the sense of personal responsibility and ownership of learning that we wish to see in all Trainees. It is also through the Tutor Team that a meaningful and engaging personal development curriculum will be delivered. They will also be supported in their role by an Associate Progress and Development Lead who will be a teaching member of staff with the responsibility to support in this crucial work.
This is a whole-school role that is focussed on a specific aspect of the school and so is an ideal developmental step towards a full senior leadership role. By its nature it will allow the post-holder to demonstrate their impact and will allow them to learn invaluable lessons about which strategies can drive progress across a school. It could also be well suited to those who have senior leadership experience and wish to focus on a specific aspect of school life.
Core role
- Be a visible presence in lessons and around the college, promoting high expectations and positive Trainee behaviour.
- Work with Tutors, the Attendance Administrator and the wider Pastoral Team to address absence and lateness, promoting high expectations with regards to attendance and punctuality.
- Co-ordinate weekly year group and whole-college assemblies.
- Meet and liaise with parents/carers, key members of staff and other stakeholders to discuss Trainee specific matters, overcome challenges and coordinate measurable plans for improvement.
- Monitor and track key attendance, behaviour and learning progress data regularly so that those in need of intervention are known to all key staff and a clear plan for support is implemented swiftly and with impact.

ELAM is a world-class 16-19 Academy which opened in September 2014. ELAM offers young people everything that they will need to lead successful lives within the music, games design and film and television sectors. We are based in Bromley-by-Bow, have Trainees from every borough in London and we are diverse in every way.
Our vision is that all children in the uk should see themselves reflected in uk culture. To do this we see our role as recruiting talented young creatives who, once they succeed, would diversify and ensure the creative industries are more representative.
We believe this can be achieved by increasing the access routes into those industries for talented young people. However, unlike many other industries, it is not always clear how to get into these jobs and therefore there is often a lack of diversity within these sectors. Increasing the access routes to everyone will therefore increase the quality of talent and the continued growth of the sector long term.

We don't do this alone
We have partnered with sector-leading organisations including YouTube, Universal Music, The BPI, Grain Media and Creative Assembly to devise a curriculum that will develop the future leaders of these sectors by meeting the relevant knowledge, skills and cultural demands. The involvement of these organisations sends a powerful message to young people that these careers are for them, they belong, that they can (and will) succeed.
Who is involved?
ELAM has been founded by a group of leading figures from industry and education. Will Kennard, Musician and one half of production duo Chase & Status, is a founder and governor. Alongside Will, the Governing body has senior executives from across the creative industries and education. We have support from a wide-range of partners from the music, film and games industries.
We work hard, we achieve high and we produce amazing creative products.
Our YouTube shows the range of talent that our Trainees have and develop - see ELAM’s vision in action here (our YouTube) and here (our most recent end of year showcasing website).
In addition, all trainees at ELAM undertake a study of Maths and English as we know written and spoken communication, problem solving, data analysis and research are the key traits of the leaders in these fields.
