Our client is a very successful, multi-site Alternative Provision serving primary-aged learners. Well-established, the AP has expanded and now have a new site which is a bright and inviting learning environment. They have built a wonderful staff team who are friendly, hard-working, dedicated and collaborative. Pupils work on a rotation basis so all members of staff will work in small groups or 1:1 with every pupil at some point. The AP lead heavily using a THRIVE approach and also with music therapy. Building on their successes, they now are offering a coaching & mentoring approach to upper KS2 pupils to prepare them for the transition to secondary school. They also now have a successful Forest School and outdoor education programme to enhance pupil engagement and offer outreach opportunities & services to local primary schools. This is a full-time permanent opportunity which will start on a 60 paid-days basis and will become permanent on successful completion of the trial period. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a role which offers training opportunities and to be part of a supportive school which has expansion plans in the near future.
