We have an exciting opportunity for a school based Pathfinder to join an E-ACT academy.

We have a brand new building and there’s a real buzz about our academy and the progress that our pupils make.

By helping our staff team to develop within the profession, we know that we are also helping our pupils to develop into leaders of the future.

A happy, ambitious primary academy in Northfield, Birmingham. Our vision is to inspire all of our children with a love of learning and thirst for knowledge from Nursery through to Year 6. Our motto is Believe, Aspire, Exceed.

We are an E-ACT academy and proud to be part of a community that includes over 18,000 pupils and 2,500 teaching and non-teaching professionals across the country.

The purpose of this role is to work in partnership with other professionals to provide early help support for our children and their families.

Support pupils in social and emotional well-being, reporting problems to the teacher as appropriate. To achieve good outcomes for children and families through co-ordination and delivery of work within school.

To deliver evidence based interventions to positively effect change that safeguards and promotes the welfare of children and young people.

Establish constructive relationships with pupils and interact with them according to individual needs.

Understand and support independent learning and inclusion of all pupils as required.

Come join our team

Quite aside from the opportunity to work with pupils whose energy, creativity and enthusiasm never fail to inspire, our academy is:

- Committed to teacher development through E-ACT’s professional learning program in partnership with leading training providers such as Ambition School Leadership
- Leading the way in youth mental health through our very own Mental Health First Aid programme - we aim to train every teacher as a mental health first aider
- A leader in the education sector for outstanding employee benefits including a generous maternity policy and opportunities for flexible working

Part of the E-ACT family

E-ACT multi-academy trust is responsible for 25 academies across the length and breadth of England.

Our academies can collaborate and share ideas with one another in ways that schools may not be able to. Most importantly, we all feel part of something much bigger as our responsibilities go far beyond the four walls of a single academy and extend to people and their communities across the country.

We are always on the lookout for dynamic, motivated and enthusiastic people so we can continue to give every one of our pupils the opportunity to explore, solve, create and achieve.

In return we offer the chance to work with amazing people and inspirational pupils, as well as a great salary and sector -leading work -life balance arrangements.
