As part of our ongoing growth, we are launching a new alternative learning environment to support young people currently unable to access educational settings; initially offering our 26 Independent schools a hybrid curriculum to support our young people. This will include a varied approach of teaching including online learning, in person tuition, support to access education again, outdoor learning via our activity centres and personal development. In addition to our schools, we have a large number of Children’s Residential Homes. A key part of the provision will be to work collaboratively with the residential team to ensure all young people at Keys are accessing education.
We foresee the role mainly working from home with travel to our schools across the country.
Responsibilities of appointment:
* Launch the alternative education model for Keys taking a strategic lead for PSHE.
* Assist the Headteacher with recruiting Tutors.
* Design innovative ways to offer a bespoke curriculum based on individual needs incorporating online learning and face to face teaching where appropriate.
* Work collaboratively with a wide range of Local Authorities across the country developing a high-quality provision with the future prospect of offering this to young people outside of our organisation.
* Lead the development of the PSHE SEND curriculum to embed across the group where necessary.
* Acting as a Lead Practitioner for the group offering support and guidance to PSHE Teachers across our schools.
* Working with our Headteachers to improve the Quality of Education across all of our schools.
* Supporting students accessing alternative education including the design of a bespoke timetable.
* Working with our specialist safeguarding advisors to ensure comprehensive safeguarding and personal development plans are in place.
We would love to hear from people who:
* Are expert in PSHE curriculum across Primary and Secondary
* Have extensive experience supporting students with SEND
* Are qualified teachers holding QTS or QTLS
