The Education Programme is an interim service providing bespoke tuition packages to children and young people (CYP) in Key Stages 1-4. These CYP are without a school place due to exclusions; or will have an EHC Plan awaiting a place at a named provision. The Children & Young People accessing the programme require one to one support in preparation for accessing identified onward education provision.

The whole team focus is on delivering child centred academic activities while supporting and improving educational outcomes. You will plan and undertake personalised, relevant academic focussed activities with pupils within an individualised programme. The individualised programme offered to a CYP may comprise of 1:1 face-to-face sessions, online live 1:1 sessions delivered using Microsoft Teams or a Blended offer using a combination of these methods.

You will be a passionate individual, experienced in delivering positive outcomes, who can support children with social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. We are seeking candidates who are motivated, reliable, empathetic, and keen to rise to the daily challenges of supporting and championing vulnerable learners.

You will require excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to manage challenging situations, and the ability to communicate clearly and successfully both verbally and on written records and reports.

The Education Programme maintains a CPD programme for the whole team, including regular training on high incidence SEND.
