Trowbridge, United Kingdom Wiltshire Council Full time

Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a Education Advocate for Children Looked-After to join the Virtual School’s post-16 team on a temporary/fixed term contract for 12 months.

I have also added this:
**About the role**

Wiltshire Virtual School strives to promote and support the education of all its children in care, wherever they are placed. We are a small but established team working in partnership with schools, colleges and early years settings, social workers and foster carers to create the best learning environments for our children.

Our post 16 young people in care continue to need support and encouragement throughout their college or 6thform courses if they are to achieve their full potential.

We aim to be aspirational for them, encouraging good attendance and engagement so that they can set their sights high and realise their ambitions.

The education advocate will be able to build up supportive relationships with these students, monitoring and promoting their attendance and ensuring that the young person’s voice is heard through the PEP process.

**About you**

You will have a level 4 qualification in education, social care, child development or psychology, or equivalent experience.

We will look to you to have excellent communication skills and relevant experience of working in an education setting.

**Interviews will be confirmed upon shortlisting.
