- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently and manage a varied caseload.
- Knowledge of Early Help processes and multi-agency working.
- Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

Leodis Academies Trust and our individual Academies are committed to ‘Forging Young Futures’. To do this, each Academy has its own ethos and identity and has the freedom to develop individually as well as working collaboratively to secure high quality outcomes for all its young people. By providing an extensive curriculum, both within and beyond the classroom, we cater for the wide range of talent and ability that our students have to offer. We work tirelessly to improve the life chances of all our young people and support them to make a positive contribution to their community.
