Lead for Alternative Provision job summary

The Lead of Alternative Provision is responsible for the strategic leadership, implementation and evaluation of RESET, the Academy’s internal alternative provision for learners at risk of permanent exclusion.

RESET is located within a dedicated building on site, incorporating classrooms, breakout and intervention spaces, while maintaining access to the wider curriculum and mainstream provision. Learners access a hybrid model of provision, combining time within RESET and mainstream lessons, supported by specialist teaching in core subjects.

The Lead will ensure that all learners accessing RESET are supported to improve behaviour, attendance and engagement, enabling them to make positive academic progress and secure meaningful onward destinations. A key focus of the role is to prevent permanent exclusions through high-quality provision, intervention and reintegration pathways. The role includes oversight of both internal provision and external partnerships, ensuring high-quality alternative pathways, including vocational provision.

The post holder will work closely with the SENCO, DSL, Attendance Lead and pastoral teams to ensure a coordinated approach to supporting vulnerable learners.
