Alternative Provision Coordinator | 8596 | permanent contract | 37 hours per week | 36,124 to 37,938 per annum | Grade I | Norwich
2025 is an exciting time to join Norfolk County Council Childrens Services following a recent highly successful Ofsted inspection and the continuing progress we are making on our Local First Inclusion strategy. We want children, young people, and families in Norfolk to receive support at the earliest opportunity so that they can flourish.
By acting together, as a connected system, we can ensure vulnerable children and young people and their families receive the right support, at the right time.
As part of our Local First Inclusion programme Norfolk County Council has developed a Norfolk Alternative Provision Strategy to promote the inclusion of pupils who are at risk of exclusion from mainstream secondary schools.
The Schools' Alternative Provision Coordinator is responsible for overseeing placements within the Norfolk Alternative Provision Strategy including Tier 1 and Tier 2 placement planning and reintegration planning when mainstream is identified as appropriate for pupils under the Alternative Education Service.
The role may also support the wider aims of the Local First Inclusion programme which align to the core aims of the role as the programme develops.
About the role:
We are seeking a person with experience of working with vulnerable children and young people within the education sector.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and an ability to work with all stakeholders including parents, Headteachers and other professionals.
This is a busy role so requires someone who is organised and able to prioritise and manage their own workload, along with the workload of their team, to achieve best outcomes for children and young people.
The role will involve working in partnership with other professionals within the Local Authority to generate efficient and effective processes, ensuring that placements and reintegrations proceed smoothly and successfully in a timely manner.
