This is an excellent time to join James Brindley as the Academy continues to implement a strategic vision developed by young people, staff, and other stakeholders. Join us to ‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.
James Brindley is a stand-alone Academy based in a wide variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres. Many of our young people have complex medical needs and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us. We offer a full-time curriculum to young people from EYFS to KS5 and our aim is always to enable them to ‘close the gap’ and to exceed expected progress during the time they are with us.
Are you an enthusiastic and positive person with a can-do attitude? If so, join our team at Birmingham Children’s Hospital! We are seeking a talented individual who can develop and maintain great relationships as a Transitions Coordinator. In a customer-facing role, you will be working with children, families, and clinical teams to help support pupils to overcome barriers and achieve their dreams!
You will work closely with the teachers and home schools to ensure pupils undergoing treatment still have access to learning and don’t fall behind their peers. You should be passionate about developing and supporting the needs of the whole child and committed to enabling all pupils to achieve their potential. Experience of working with children with SEND or medical conditions is essential, as well as excellent communication skills needed to the role as the first point of contact for pupils and their families. You must be willing to work across all our centres and have a full clean driving licence.
