Job description
In Calderdale there is a distinct lack of Alternative Provision, this, combined with post-pandemic challenges has meant that the number of permanently excluded has reached three figures.
In 2023 we took the bold decision to make significant contributions to being part of the solution to this issue.
Last academic year we opened a tier two provision called Trinity Academy Carlton Mill, initially this was for students that attend our school however, in line with our ambition to be part of a Calderdale solution, we are now opening this to students from other schools such that young people across the borough can benefit from the great work we are doing.
At Trinity Academy Carlton Mill we work with children who are at risk of permanent exclusion such that they can be reintegrated back into a mainstream setting.
We offer Trinity 14-week breakout placements for students in years 7 to 10 within Calderdale.
The aim of each placement is that students become better equipped to access mainstream education and we work with each student on an individual basis to meet their needs.
We work in partnership with a host of specialists and the referring academy or school to give students the best possible chance of successful reintegration.
We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Education and Welfare Attendance Officer, who will implement academy attendance strategies and engage with parents and families to improve student attendance rates through effective partnerships between parents, families and the academy and its partners for students in alternative settings.
What are we looking for?
• 5 or more GCSEs at grade C or above, including English and Maths (or equivalent)
• Experience of successfully working with identified disaffected students, or groups of students.
• Experience of monitoring and recording progress of learners
• Experience of forging community/voluntary/parent and partner agency links
• Experience of working with young people to improve their attendance
• Experience of conflict resolution
Through working with the students on a daily basis and being housed under the same roof, the taskforce will ensure access to the right support, in the right place, and at the right time.
