TEP exists to support schools and trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve school engagement. As a platform, TEP captures and reports on engagement across various dimensions and stakeholder groups: pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders. TEP helps schools to understand and act on this data. The platform's ability to track changes over time enables schools to measure the impact of their interventions, ensuring that their engagement strategies are effective and adjusted as needed. This action-oriented approach ensures that school engagement is not simply a metric or backward-looking accountability tool, it is core to school improvement.

The Role

Are you deeply driven to help others? Do you have the desire to do this in a creative and personal manner? Being an engagement lead may well be the job you have been looking for.

It is a human need to engage with the world and with each other in a meaningful way. But what does this engagement look like? There are as many answers to that question as there are people in the world. For those who are older and disabled it is a great challenge to maintain the relationships and activities that have supported them through life. As engagement leads at Hammerson House it is our challenge to help them do so and, taking a person centred approach, results in a wide and ever shifting variety of activities and individual interventions for our residents. We are a large and innovative organisation that is always trying to develop new ways to foster community and connect our residents with what matters to them.

This is a job of tremendous variety and possibilities and requires individuals who have the energy, people skills and logistical know-how to bring the right ideas to fruition. Experience of working in care is not a necessity and we would welcome candidates with a diverse range of people-facing experiences and those with creative backgrounds. Experience of supporting people with dementia or other neurological conditions would be desirable.
