Learning Mentor with Base Lead responsibility

We are looking to appoint from a variety of backgrounds and work experiences. Your big personality is more important to us than your qualifications, but experience of a lead role in an alternative provision, special school or mainstream is important. You can learn how to fill in forms, what we can’t mould is your authentic commitment to children and families.

• confident
• consistent
• good sense of humour
• good communicator
• team player
• flexible
• thoroughness
• patience

The successful candidate will have the following base lead responsibilities as they lead the team:

• be a positive advocate for our children
• be a positive role model for base staff
• be the outward face of the base in the community
• be the single point of contact at the base
• be a member of the middle leadership group – driving improvement
• be the lead safe guarder of the premises
• be the decision maker on timetables, behaviour strategy, etc
• be the coordinator of attendance support and agencies
• be the lead ensuring sensitive parental contact and support

We are a multi-site school, therefore holding a driving licence would be advantageous. With our multitude of sites, there is an expectation that you will work in any part of Sheffield.
