The West Area Inclusion Partnership (WAIP) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced professional to lead our Key Stage 3 Intervention Provision. This is a non-teaching management role focused on inclusion, pastoral support, behaviour, and safeguarding for pupils on short-term placements from mainstream schools or those permanently excluded.

As the Intervention Manager you will ensure that the welfare and protection of every young person underpins all aspects of provision. You will provide operational leadership of the inclusion base, ensuring its smooth and effective day-to-day running and full compliance with safeguarding and health and safety requirements. You will work closely with schools, families, and multi-agency partners to make sure that young people are supported to thrive academically and personally, that a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment is fostered where they feel valued and motivated, and that effective collaboration with schools and professional agencies delivers consistent, high-quality support for all learners.

Key qualities we are looking for include:

Strong knowledge of safeguarding and child protection, with up-to-date training.

Experience of inclusive practice, trauma informed practice, SEND and SEMH strategies.

Excellent communication and partnership working skills with schools, families, and agencies.

Proven ability to lead, support, and motivate staff teams.

A commitment to inclusion, equality of opportunity, and improving outcomes for pupils.

We will offer you:

Comprehensive support and training to enhance your skills and advance your career.

A welcoming alternative provision

An excellent opportunity to make a difference

An inclusive school which strives to meet the needs of all children

A team of dedicated and committed staff and Governors

An experienced and supportive leadership and staff team
