Hub Coordinator

37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, term time only + 5 days

Temporary until 31 August 2025

Outwood Alternative Provision Eston is a unique centre that caters to students from Outwood Academies in the Northern Region who require additional support due to behavioural, social, emotional, or mental health challenges.

Our commitment to inclusion drives us to provide a safe and nurturing environment for vulnerable students who exhibit challenging behaviours and are at risk of exclusion. With smaller class sizes, we prioritise personal development and student well-being without compromising academic excellence.

Our goal is to ensure that all students can succeed and transition to their next stage with confidence, whether it's further education, employment, or training.

We wish to appoint a Hub Coordinator to promote, organise and lead a range of opportunities for our underachieving, disaffected and vulnerable KS3 students. You will focus on raising aspirations, promoting ambition, re-engaging in education, closing gaps in academic performance and, ultimately, reintegrating back into mainstream education. The Hub Coordinator will build and maintain excellent relationships with students, as well as parents, carers and third-party agencies, in order to put students first and increase their chances of success in and beyond the centre.

As a Hub Coordinator, you must have the ability to work with students and have a real interest in the issues faced by the students. You will monitor and support all students in the Key Stage both academically and behaviourally. You will work closely with the Leadership Team on improving student behaviour, attendance and outcomes. Day to day, you will work with students to help them to be the best they can be.

The successful candidate needs to be extremely well organised and IT literate and have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Applicants should have experience of working in a school environment and have a suitable level of knowledge around the issues affecting young people in the local communities.
