Role purpose and responsibilities
Do you have the necessary educational expertise and experience to provide support and guidance to the alternative education sector in relation to both curriculum and safeguarding ?
Could you help to promote positive attendance, personal well-being academic outcomes and effective safeguarding for those pupils who need the small group intervention of an alternative provision provider?
The Local Authority are seeking a Lead officer to work in close partnership with safeguarding, commissioning, and education access teams to ensure that all partners work effectively together to support pupils in alternative provision and to return them to mainstream education as soon as they are ready to do so.
You will need to promote good practice and respond to any concerns raised about the quality of provision or safeguarding - acting in partnership with other agencies if necessary. You will also be required to analyse data and present reports to senior officers and County Councillors. This is an exciting, cross phase, County wide post that allows hybrid working but will require you to visit alternative provision settings.
