Harmeny Education Trust is a charitable organisation providing therapeutic care and education to children who have experienced early years trauma through abuse, neglect and family disruption, referred from all over Scotland. We currently work with children and young people aged 5-18, both on a day and all-year-round residential basis.
We are currently seeking an Education Manager (Pupil Support) to join the organisation. Working closely with the Head and Deputy Head of Education, the Education Manager will be responsible for managing a team of education support staff to ensure the highest quality learning experiences and outcomes for children placed at Harmeny, which is based on a highly relational and experiential model of learning. The postholder will also be responsible for leading on, and delivering a Personal and Social Education programme to our S1 learners upwards. They will work closely with local partners and providers to ensure our children are able to access activities and networks which will support a positive destination. They will also play a key role in supporting those aspects of the 24-hour curriculum that assist children in developing their social skills, as vital components of lifelong learning. This will require them be part of a team who provide on-call throughout the week and one weekend in seven.
With the supervision and guidance of the Head of Education, the Education Manager will be responsible alongside the Deputy Head of Education, Service Managers (Residential) and Day Service Manager for the effective leadership, management and development of our core service, Harmeny School. These managers constitute the Harmeny School Management Team (HSMT), which is jointly chaired by the Head of Care and Head of Education.
The post-holder will play a role in the strategic direction and growth of the organisation, working closely with the other members of HSMT and the Senior Management Team (SMT), to maintain Harmeny's excellent provision and help us to implement our new services for young people up to the age of 18.
