It is an exciting time for Alternative Provision in East Sussex as we embark on a collaborative journey of systemic transformation and improvement.
Working in partnership with East Sussex County Council and SABDEN Multi Academy Trust, London South East Academies Trust (LSEAT) is seeking committed, dynamic and talented staff to join its team at College Central – which will become East Sussex Academy (part of LSEAT) later this year.
Our school provides education for 4–16-year-olds who have been excluded from mainstream settings across the county. Demand for this provision has increased dramatically since the pandemic, creating many challenges and resulting in a need for the school to significantly improve.
To secure a successful future for staff and pupils, a transfer process is now underway – we (LSEAT) are working closely with the existing providers to ensure a smooth transition.
This will include relocating the school to improved, purposeful buildings within the area, which are better suited to the needs of pupils. We are also focused on expanding and strengthening our staff teams across the school.
We are seeking to recruit Safeguarding consultant on a consultancy basis to join us at this exciting time on a day rate of £400 per day DOE with an average of 2/3 days a week until end March 2025.
The primary responsibility of this role is to support the transitional safeguarding plan during the next few months. You will be responsible to chairing weekly safeguarding meetings as well as co-ordinating the work of the team of Family Liaison Officers.
The fundamental duty of the post holder is to support the Designated Safeguarding Lead to deliver effective safeguarding procedures, child protection and online safety procedures across the college, with the aim of ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of our students is a clear priority.
The purpose of the role is to support the DSL in their leadership of safeguarding, in order to create a strong culture of safeguarding across the Academy. The DDSL will represent the ethos, values, and approach of the college to pupils, parents, and staff.
The hours of work are 8.30am–3.30pm, Monday to Friday (exact working pattern to be discussed at interview and agreed on successful appointment). We are a warm, friendly and supportive team, with additional benefits, such as free daily lunch.
If successful, you will be employed initially by London South East Academies Trust.
You will be ambitious and aspirational for your pupils, with drive and determination to improve outcomes for all. In return, you will be joining a hardworking team that is committed to successful change and transformation; with a shared vision of improving lives through the power of learning. We place the outcomes of our pupils at the center of everything we do so you will come to work each day knowing that your role will have a significant positive impact on the lives of others.
