What skills and experience we're looking for
As part of Outwood Grange Academies Trust, we benefit from the support and experience of our Family of Schools as well as being able to provide our staff with exceptional professional development through the Outwood Institute of Education.
The successful candidate will lead a very busy team providing support to students, families and Academy staff to improve attendance and meet the needs of their students. The ideal candidate will support children whose education is at risk and help families to improve their children’s access to learning and enable all children and young people to maximise their educational opportunities, especially those vulnerable groups that may need additional support.
Candidates should have excellent communication skills, be organised, energetic and able to remain calm in a busy environment. Strong IT skills specifically in Microsoft Office and Google are essential. The successful candidate will be a strong leader with a proactive approach to work. Owing to the nature of the role, an ability to relate to the Academy’s students is crucial. Home visits will be required as part of this role so a UK driving licence and a car will be essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for highly motivated and driven individuals; you must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students.
