This role is ideal for dedicated professionals who have a passion for supporting young people who have faced challenges in mainstream education.

Although supporting these young people can be challenging, the rewards are immense as we see them develop and succeed in reaching their full potential, gaining educational outcomes and returning to mainstream wherever possible. The work can be demanding at times but there is a high staff to pupil ratio - classes are small in size and always with TA support. We offer a supportive management team and the opportunity to effect real change and witness rapid progress is significant.
Rivers ESC work with a varied cohort of pupils including children classed as missing education, permanently excluded from mainstream schools, and many of the pupils have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD).
Why Join Rivers ESC:
Opportunity to make a significant impact on young people’s lives.
Work as part of a supportive and dedicated team.
Professional development opportunities tailored to working in alternative provision.
A chance to deliver education in innovative and creative ways.
You will possess excellent communication and proven organisational skills and be approachable, calm and positive. You should be a team player, who is also able to work on your own initiative.

Key Stage 3
At the Key Stage 3 centre in Hertford, pupils either attend for an agreed period of respite or for a longer period while next steps are arranged. Pupils are provided with a broad curriculum and barriers to education are identified. Pupils are supported to find strategies to overcome these barriers to support them to be successful in school. Once a mainstream school has been identified, pupils are supported to reintegrate by the Rivers ESC outreach team. Where appropriate, statutory assessments are conducted for pupils in Key Stage 3 to identify additional support that may be required and in some instances to support the process towards a placement in an alternative/specialist provision.
Key Stage 4
The Key Stage 4 centre in Hoddesdon provides education for year 10 and 11 pupils. Many pupils are supported to reintegrate back into mainstream school once it has been identified that they are likely to be successful. Rivers ESC works with the Fair Access team in Hertfordshire to choose the new school placement and to plan how to meet the additional needs of the pupil who is reintegrating.
KS4 pupils complete a wide range of exam based and vocational qualifications to work towards future aspirations and chosen career pathways. Some KS4 pupils may work on learning pathways which include attendance at alternative provisions supported by centre staff. Pupils have access to a broad range of subjects at a variety of levels and are guided to be highly aspirational with the courses they select. Pupil outcomes are outstanding.
The safe recruitment of staff is the first step to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in education.
Rivers ESC is committed to safeguarding children, young people and promoting the welfare of the pupils in its care and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. We welcome visits from potential applicants.
