Job overview

Newhaven School- King’s Park:  Work Related Learning Co-ordinator 

We have an exciting new opportunity for a work related learning co-ordinator with some pastoral responsibilities to join this rapidly expanding provision in the Royal Borough of Greenwich which meets the needs of young people with diagnoses of Autism and mental health needs. You will have the skills, ability and initiative to work with our young people (especially our 20 6th formers) to develop them to a point where they are able to work, train or move onto other education provisions. You will have the communication skills to develop relationships with local businesses and community organisations. You will ideally have experience with high functioning youngsters or adults on the spectrum but more importantly will be an outstanding candidate with a can do attitude and the resilience to work with our challenging cohort of bright, energetic young people. You will also be excited by the prospect of working in a dynamic, forward looking environment where risks are encouraged in order to achieve results and a desire for rapid personal development.

You will join a team of dedicated professionals who have worked hard to establish King’s Park at a time when our success is leading to an accelerated expansion programme. Ideally with experience of working with young people with ASD in a work facing role, it is desirable that you have experience working with people with ASD using specific interventions such as TEACCH, SPELL framework and SCERTS.

You will have key responsibility for work related learning programmes, working closely with our 6th form tutors and Assistant Head with responsibility for 6th form.

As you will be visiting both employers and students, a current full UK driving license and access to a car will be required.

We opened in a refitted building in May 2016 and currently have 23 students on roll in years 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13. By September we will have up to 48 students in years 7-14. And by September 2018 will reach our capacity of 55. The curriculum is developing to meet the social communication and emotional literacy needs of our cohort and covers a diversity of academic need from entry to A level.

Newhaven Pupil Referral Unit is a high performing and complex alternative provision set in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We believe in providing opportunities for students to become independent and well-rounded individuals ready to embrace all that life has to offer, removing the barriers to learning that have hindered their progress up to now. 

At Newhaven we have an extremely effective team of dedicated staff to support the progress of every child, including specialist LSAs and HLTAs, Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and CAMHS link workers. Our most recent Ofsted report notes that Newhaven pupils “benefit from a committed team of professionals who enjoy coming to work. This is because they feel valued and are supported to work together to improve pupils’ outcomes”. 

Newhaven has a positive "can do" attitude, believing that the sky is the limit, and we think creatively and innovatively to meet the needs of our learners and school community. Our examination results and student destinations are a testament to this.
