West Lea is commissioned by the Local Authority in Enfield to run support services for young people of statutory school age who may not be accessing education in another setting.
These young people may be facing a variety of challenges including physical health difficulties and social, emotional and mental health issues which are impacting on their engagement with education.
We are looking to recruit suitably qualified practitioners on a casual basis, working school term times throughout the year, who can be available at short notice and who are by nature very patient, naturally caring and very reliable to offer short term teaching support to students referred by the L.A.
Every circumstance will be different but your role in encouraging and guiding both learners and their families will be crucial both in addressing their needs and facilitating opportunities for them to be met.
You’ll be working one-to-one with learners in their home or at an external venue; working with a learner on site at one of West Lea’s campuses; supporting a young person to gradually re-integrate back to their home school in liaison with other professionals; or a combination of assistance as the young person progresses back into education.
You will have the support of a dynamic team and will help to develop and shape the future of new programmes supporting young people in Enfield.
You’ll be an innovative and dynamic individual, who will continue to inspire and motivate our learners to make excellent progress, whatever their starting point or situation.
You’ll be a person who can demonstrate vision, resilience and empathy. We are a ‘values based’ organisation and, as such, we expect our staff to embody our values. You share in the belief that all our learners can achieve and through working as a community with kindness, you are committed to ensuring all have positive futures.
