Working pattern: 37 hours per week, 39 weeks per year (term time plus INSET days)

Contract term: Permanent

The school:

The Manor Academy has an excellent reputation for its high standards of teaching, student behaviour and academic achievement. Ofsted recognised the journey we have been on when grading us as a "good" school, citing that the quality of education has been transformed since the previous inspection.

The role:

We are looking for a student focused, highly skilled, resilient, emotionally literate person to work with students who have been identified as at risk of permanent exclusion or who have had repeated fixed term exclusions in order to maintain their attendance at school and ensure that they are accessing education appropriate to their needs.

The person:

The successful candidate may be either a teacher or a non-teacher and will be responsible for devising alternative curriculum timetables for a small cohort of individuals for whom a mainstream curriculum is not suitable. The successful candidate will deliver some provision directly to the students on an individual or group basis and will coordinate the work of other teachers at The Manor Academy and/or alternative providers to ensure that students remain in education.

The successful candidate will need to be able to quickly form excellent relationships with vulnerable young people and their parents/carers and will have a creative and optimistic approach to re-engaging these young people. You will need boundless energy, a good sense of humour and a strong sense of social justice. You will be accountable for the attendance, behaviour and outcomes of the small cohort of students you are working with.
