The Governing Body of Acland Burghley is looking to appoint an outstanding Student Progress Leader (SPL) to join the school's academic support team. The role of SPL is a non-teaching post attached to specific year groups in the school with responsibilities around student attendance, progress and well-being. The role involves 10 days' work outside term time to support with results' days and other calendared events.

The successful candidate will be a strong team player, who is passionate about inclusion and supporting students to overcome barriers to learning.
