Grade: UPR 1 – 3 + SEN + TLR 2C Hours- Full Time, Contract – Permanent

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Head of Provision to join ACE Schools, part of Transforming Futures Trust, to lead our Plymouth and Exeter WRAP bases, as well as Primary.

The successful post holder will lead our bases in Plymouth and Exeter and contribute to the school outreach work with the local authority and other trusts.

We are looking for an experienced school leader who is looking for something different. You will have a good understanding of special and/or alternative provision and be used to working with local authority teams and professionals in other agencies and schools.

In this role you will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of three sites, each of which provides highly personalised education for between 15 and 30 pupils with complex needs including SEMH. Each site is led by a Lead Teacher reporting to you. Together with a second teacher and Pastoral Lead they manage a team of 20+ mentors who work with the individual children. We also have a dedicated SENCo and two administrators in your team.

As Head of Provision, you will be responsible for the performance management of staff, and developing teaching and learning in the bases. Working in collaboration with SLT and other Leaders you will contribute to the ongoing CPD of all staff and liaise with other agencies, parents and stakeholders to ensure that safeguarding and outcomes for pupils are outstanding.

You will ensure that deadlines are met and resources are managed efficiently and oversee Child Protection. You will work with commissioners in the local authority to ensure children are placed in the most appropriate settings to meet their needs and lead on admissions and transitions back into schools.

An important aspect is to assist the SENCo in assessing pupils’ needs and ensuring provision packages meet them, with regular reviews. You will also ensure the smooth running of primary statutory assessments, working with our Primary Curriculum Lead, and GCSE and other qualifications at KS4.
