 Main purpose of the role 

Birmingham Education Partnership (BEP) is a charity launched in 2013 by Birmingham Headteachers to secure a deeply good education for every child in Birmingham addressing the social and the civic as well as the academic needs of our children. It seeks to ensure that no school is left isolated, schools support each other, and that all schools have access to a broad range of school improvement support.

The North Area Network are a group of eight secondary schools in north Birmingham, who are committed to working together to ensure the best outcomes for all children in the area. The schools of the North Area Network are: 

• Arena Academy

Birmingham Education Partnership and the North Area Network are jointly seeking an experienced school pastoral professional to support the successful placement of children on “Off Site Directions” from secondary schools within the North Area Network, to other schools and / or alternative provisions. 

You will lead on supporting children who are on placements from schools within the North Area Network. This will involve regularly monitoring placements and intervening where necessary; working closely with parents, carers and professionals; and most importantly working directly with the children themselves in a mentoring capacity. Regular travel between schools will be required, as well as some visits to children’s homes. 

This role is perfect for an ambitious, motivated and organised individual with deep experience of working in a pastoral capacity in school settings and who is passionate about improving the life chances of children.
