We are looking to appoint an Internal Alternative Provision Manager (IAP) to run and coordinate our PACE hub (Personalised Academic and Character Education hub) at The Dean Academy. The successful candidate must have a passion for working with young people to support them to embody our core values of “We are Respectful, We are Responsible, We are Ready”. You will have responsibility for establishing, supervising and coordinating the implementation and delivery of the school’s internal alternative provision programme, as a core part of the school’s behaviour management procedures, ultimately reducing the number of students excluded from school, supporting in the maintenance of a productive learning environment and facilitating successful access to education for all.

You will have the presence, experience and personality to manage, supervise, challenge and motivate students. This role forms a core part of the school’s pastoral team and you will need to work closely with students, other school colleagues and parents/carers. As an individual, you will be motivated, positive, have a flexible and calm approach and be able to respond to the needs of the individuals you are working with.

This post is offered to both teaching and non-teaching staff. If you are interested in applying, please speak to Hannah Rowlands for further details, including the possibility of flexible working and adjusting working hours to encompass this new role.

The Dean Academy is proud to be part of The Athelstan Trust and benefits from collaboration and challenge. The Athelstan Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check along with standard pre-employment safeguarding checks. As the role includes working with children, it is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants must, therefore, disclose all spent and unspent convictions. References will be sought for shortlisted candidates before interview. Please also be aware that you will be subject to an online check and that you may be questioned about the findings of such a check at your interview.

We are a flexible working employer, and we are willing to make any reasonable adjustments you require during your interview so please ask us.
