Our client seeks to recruit a professional to ensure children with differential circumstances and/or complex needs can reach their full potential and meet their aspirations. This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive and relaxed multi-disciplinary team, undertaking challenging and highly interesting work.
Their vision:
They were founded in partnership with, and for the benefit of, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. They believe in a world where everyone is included and afforded respect, dignity and justice. There must be no exceptions on account of ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexuality, social background – or indeed anything else. They believe that this full inclusion is possible for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and they look forward to being part of a society where this is realised.
Purpose and duties:
Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children have the lowest educational attainment of all ethnic groups at all Key Stages (House of Commons, 2019). Our children, most especially those with Special Educational Needs, face multi-faceted barriers to accessing appropriate education and other statutory services. To that end, we are recruiting an Education Coordinator to:
• Work within a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team to empower children to reach their potential.
• Work with children, families and agencies to secure educational placements, SEN provision, consistent attendance and achievement.
• Develop strong relationships with education providers to tackle education inequalities and get the best outcomes for the children within communities.
Person specification:
The successful candidate will be committed to achieving excellent outcomes for clients and be aligned with the vision and values of the charity. They will be warm and compassionate, yet also able to demonstrate healthy boundaries and professionalism. They will have experience of successful work with children and an understanding of education systems. They will be able to demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication, in addition to sound IT skills. They will have resilience – and a sense of humour is also a must!
Please note that we are looking for potential as much as experience in their recruitment.
Working for them:
They believe their team are their greatest asset, placing a premium on staff welfare and providing staff excellent professional development opportunities for people to take forward in their careers. Everyone demonstrates a personal commitment to serving others and working towards their vision. They are a relaxed and collaborative team, with a big sense of humour.
