We are sure you will already be an extremely well‑organised professional and have the ability to plan and prioritise work to ensure that strict deadlines are accurately met.

The Outwood Family is able to offer some exciting opportunities to develop your knowledge base through our CPD transformation model delivered at Outwood Institute of Education.

The role will require you to accurately input, track and monitor data relating to these students and produce reports and recommendations to both the Senior Leadership team and your Inclusion team. You need to be able to deal with students, parents and outside agencies in a professional, prompt and confidential manner. Needless to say, you will be an aspiring leader and able to use your existing experience in management to lead a team of staff to continue to 'raise standards and transform lives'.

We believe that all teaching and support staff posts within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of supporting student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences.
