iCollege Alternative Education is a vibrant provision for learners aged 5-19 who are unable to access mainstream education. Barriers to learning may include social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, attendance issues or be at risk of exclusion. We operate over seven sites across West Berkshire working collaboratively with all stakeholders to deliver a broad, holistic and relevant curriculum, which meets the needs of all learners, helping them to become the best that they can be. Many timetables are bespoke and meet the individual need of the learner. In addition to full time placements for learners, we also offer off-site, reactive provision to improve mainstream engagement for key stages 1-4 and on-site, short-term, proactive packages to support mainstream engagement.
The successful applicant will work alongside iCollege staff, other services across the authority and the families addressing all attendance matters, to ensure that the children and young people are settled and safe in their learning environment and where necessary enforcing relevant legislation to ensure children & young people have the opportunity to thrive, reach their educational potential and achieve best life outcomes. Applicants need to be motivated, innovative, enthusiastic, flexible, practical, resourceful and highly confidential. Experience of SIMS is desirable, but training will be provided. Roles within iCollege are wide ranging and varied, and you may be required to support learners who can sometimes become angry or distressed.
This will be a challenging role, however we offer a supportive Leadership Team as well as ongoing personal development.
The School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. Successful candidates will be subject to Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks along with other relevant employment checks including online searches.
Closing date: Monday 17 February 2025 @ 5pm (half term week).
