Post 16 Alternative Provision Coordinator
Do you want a job where you actually see young people get somewhere? At Aspire in Arts we work with young people who have often had a hard time in mainstream education, and we give them a safe, creative place to learn, grow and move forward. We are looking for a Post 16 Alternative Provision Coordinator to lead the day to day running of our Post-16 provision in Nuneaton.
About the role
You hold our Post-16 young people day to day. Once a young person joins the provision, you make sure they have a clear plan, are progressing towards their goals and qualifications, and feel supported, safe and engaged.

- Monitoring attendance, punctuality, engagement and wellbeing, and putting support in place where young people are struggling
- Working closely with our Curriculum and Assessment Coordinator on qualifications, assessment and accreditation
- Keeping in regular contact with parents, carers and professionals, and producing learner reviews, progress reports and evidence for annual reviews
- Monitoring EHCP outcomes and attending EHCP reviews, Team Around the Family meetings and other multi-agency meetings
- Supporting delivery on the floor, covering sessions where needed, and guiding the youth workers in the provision
- Delivering and supporting our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme during the school holidays
What we are looking for
Essential
- Experience of working with young people who have disengaged from education, including those with SEND or SEMH needs
- A good understanding of safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
- The ability to build strong, trusting relationships with young people and hold clear, consistent boundaries
- Organised and reliable, able to hold a caseload and keep accurate records and case notes
- Good written communication for reports, reviews and evidence
- Confident leading the day to day running of a provision and guiding sessional staff
Desirable
- A relevant qualification in youth work, education or a related field
- Knowledge of EHCPs and the annual review process
