Are you passionate about helping young people navigate some of the most important transitions of their lives? The Excelsior Academy is looking for a motivated and compassionate professional to join our inclusive, high-achieving community in a unique combined role.

Working across two complementary functions, you will lead on transition planning for students with SEND coordinating IEPs, supporting post-16 pathways, and building relationships with families and external agencies while also providing hands-on learning support in the classroom under the direction of our experienced teaching staff.

This is a rewarding role for someone who thrives on variety, believes every student deserves the highest expectations, and wants to make a tangible difference to young people's futures.

What we're looking for:

Experience working with young people with complex barriers to learning, a strong knowledge of SEND and transition frameworks, and the confidence to engage with students, staff, families, and external partners. A commitment to safeguarding and inclusive education is essential.

Early applications are encouraged and we reserve the right to interview and appoint in advance of the closing date.
