Alternative Provision Manager
Holy Family Catholic School and Sixth Form, based in Walthamstow London, is currently looking to appoint an experienced Alternative Provision Manager.
In September 2021, Holy Family Catholic School will be opening its onsite satellite alternative provision. The provision will be used by students across the borough who have been referred as a result of their mental health and anxiety. The provision will provide both a therapeutic and academic support package to support our young people so that they are able to return to their mainstream school with confidence and tools to help them complete their education.
This is an exciting opportunity for both the school and the families within the borough. To ensure that we provide a first class quality provision we are looking to appoint a manager who will have day to day oversight and management of the provision and who will embed it as part of our overall school Ethos that is grounded within our Catholic values. This is a new and demanding role and the successful applicant will have to be able to work on their own initiative and be a problem-solver, confident in liaising with multiple agencies and experienced in working with young people who present a number of mental health challenges.

Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy
