What skills and experience we're looking for

We are able to utilise a part of our building to create an onsite Alternative Provision – The Bridge, which caters for a small number of students who find accessing mainstream provision challenging. This post has been created to support the emotional and academic development of young people accessing The Bridge so that they can continue to receive a high-quality bespoke curriculum which best meets their needs, with a long-term aim of reintegration back into our mainstream provision.

Working as part of a wider and high-quality pastoral team, the post-holder will work with another colleague to supervise small groups of students in the Bridge to develop their academic learning and support their broader social/emotional development. The students will be identified through careful assessment and may well have anxiety or an emotional need acting as a barrier to better attendance or engagement in main site. Full training in delivery of emotional development will be made available.

The post-holder will be responsible for:

• Supporting other colleagues in the day-to-day operation of the Bridge
• Act as a full-time key worker for children within the Bridge
• Supporting students with their academic programs of study
• Organising, developing, and delivering personalised intervention activities, which enhance the learning of students
• Work with colleagues in the assessment of need and the setting of appropriate, measurable milestones for success.
• Liaise with pastoral and SEND team to ensure that students receive an appropriate developmental provision in the Bridge, continued into the school.
• Liaise with subject leaders and classroom teacher to ensure they have access to materials and resources to continue their academic progress.
• Deliver programs of study to improve resilience, regulation and literacy skills.
• Be the key point of contact between home and school for students accessing The Bridge
• Work across the inclusion team and facilities in school to develop expertise and programs to meet the needs of students.

You will have:

• Excellent communication skills and building relationships with others will be a key strength
• Excellent numeracy and literacy skills.
• A successful and proven track record in a similar role which supports students and parents/carers.
• Previous experience of working with young people.
• Academic and/or professional qualification appropriate to the level of responsibility and accountability with the role.
