2025 is an exciting time to join Norfolk County Council Children’s Services following a recent highly successful Ofsted inspection and the continuing progress we are making on our Local First Inclusion strategy. We want children, young people, and families in Norfolk to receive support at the earliest opportunity so that they can flourish. By acting together, as a connected system, we can ensure vulnerable children and young people and their families receive the right support, at the right time.

As part of our Local First Inclusion programme Norfolk County Council has developed a Norfolk Alternative Provision Strategy to promote the inclusion of pupils who are at risk of exclusion from mainstream secondary schools.

The Schools’ Alternative Provision Placement Officer is responsible for supporting placements within the Norfolk Alternative Provision Strategy including, Tier 1 and Tier 2 including transition and reintegration planning when mainstream is identified as appropriate for pupils under the Alternative Education Service.

The role may also support the wider aims of the Local First Inclusion programme which align to the core aims of the role as the programme develops.

**About the role**:
This is a busy role so requires someone who is organised and able to prioritise and manage their own workload, using their understanding of how children can effectively transition and successfully access meaningful education to achieve best outcomes. The role will involve working in partnership with other professionals within the Local Authority to generate and support effective reintegration plans, ensuring that placements and reintegration proceed smoothly and successfully in a timely manner.
