Job description

About the Academy

Outwood Academy Riverside, founded in September 2020 through the Free Schools Programme, implements the Riverside values program for all students at the start of every academic year.

The academy is dedicated to the wide variety of students who enrol, ensuring strong routines and top‑notch pastoral care for all pupils.

Located at Russell Street, Middlesbrough, Outwood Academy Riverside is set to have a new school built on Pioneering Way close to Middlesbrough College. Additionally, a satellite site in Eston opened in September 2024 for Y7 /Y8 students as the school continues to grow.

About the Role

You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘Students First, raising standards and transforming lives’. As a key figure in our ‘family’, you will be expected to contribute to the daily support of the school and ensure all our pupils are catered for during their time in our setting.

Your team will consist of a SENDCO, SEND Officer, and Teaching Assistant.

We are confident that you are an extremely well‑organised professional with the ability to plan, prioritise and meet strict deadlines. The ability to work on your own initiative and lead by example is essential. Nationally the needs of children are fluctuating and as such your experience of working with students with SEND is essential, as is the ability to produce strategies and interventions to assist our more vulnerable students achieve their full potential.

The Outwood family offers exciting opportunities to develop your knowledge base through our CPD transformation model delivered at the 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. As such we are keen to recruit dedicated and ambitious professionals who will add value to our Academy in both academic terms and through involvement in the fabric of learning and success beyond the classroom.
