Area Learning Advocate

Found in: Talent UK 2 C2 - 2 weeks ago


Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Fixed term for 15 months

Devon County Council’s Virtual School is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced professional for the role of Area Learning Advocate, to join the team to deliver outstanding educational support for Devon’s Children in Care who are young asylum seekers.

This role is a new post and will work within the Virtual School Team but also very closely with Social Care colleagues who work with this cohort. The role will promote the achievement of young asylum seeking children who are in care to Devon wherever they are living, which could be within the county of Devon or in other Local Authorities. You will be the source of education advice and support for this cohort of children and their Social Workers, carers and education providers. It is key to this post to ensure our asylum seeking young people are included, education providers are informed of the particular needs of children with trauma and are supported to provide suitable education which meets the needs of each individual, this can be challenging as many may have limited English language skills and a very disrupted education history. 

This position is based in County Hall, Exeter with opportunities for working from home for some of the time.

Working as part of the Virtual School Team you will: 

be passionate about securing effective education support for Children in Care;  ensure that any barriers to success are challenged, thereby promoting a culture of high aspiration for each individual Child in Care;  have regular and direct contact with Designated Teachers and senior staff in schools, raising concerns about educational progress, holding schools to account for how the Pupil Premium Plus is deployed to improve outcomes; and encourage a culture of celebrating the success of young people in Care. 
 

It is therefore essential that applicants hold Qualified Teacher Status and have experience at a senior level in a school setting.
