Are you an experienced Family Support or Community Engagement Lead who wants to make a difference?

Ark Tindal Primary Academy has a fantastic opportunity for a committed, enthusiastic practitioner with high expectations and a passion for making a difference, to join our supportive team this term.

Our vision at Ark Tindal is to provide an exceptional education that inspires all children to flourish into confident, successful and well-rounded individuals. We operate a three-teacher model across our year groups and have a strong focus on character development and pastoral well-being, as well as the academic curriculum. We are a small primary school which enables us to know all the children and their families. We offer support to the community, and we hold regular events which enable parents and carers to share in the life of the school and in their children’s learning.

Ark Tindal is a nurturing, exciting and innovative place to work. "Team Tindal" is a strong community, and our staff see themselves as one big family. We take staff wellbeing seriously; there are regular staff social activities and individual catch-ups with line managers, we do what we can to support our team. We are committed to the development of our staff and have an extensive professional development offering, which enables us to work to our highest potential.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Family Support and Engagement Lead to join our dedicated team, making a real impact on the outcomes of our pupils. This is a great opportunity for someone, preferably with prior experience of similar roles, who has a passion and enthusiasm for improving the life outcomes of our pupils, and who will inspire our children to achieve their full potential. The role will be based within our Pastoral Team, focussing on a variety of areas

including:

- safeguarding, by acting as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
- community engagement, building on a strong foundation of community support already in place to ensure that pupils and their families are well supported, both within and beyond school
- partnering with community organisations, such as Citizens UK, building a team of parent and carer leaders to address community needs
- provision of targeted support for vulnerable families experiencing long and short-term challenges
- liaison with other agencies, working with others to remove barriers to learning and improve our families’ lives

In return we can offer:

- a friendly, collegiate working environment
- an exceptional and innovative staff team
- a school committed to the enjoyment, achievement and wellbeing of all
- an engaged and supportive wider community
- professional development opportunities to hone your skills

You will also be part of Ark’s thriving hub of primary and secondary schools in Birmingham working with regional teams, which offer additional guidance and support in aspects of the role.

Staff say that this is an exciting place to work where they are lucky to be part of a supportive and welcoming team. ‘I have never been so well equipped in my role, continued professional development is taken seriously, and I have access to a broad range of training.’
