New Horizons Federation is a hard federation of two special schools, Oakwood and Westbrooke Schools, for pupils with social emotional and mental health issues and the Bexley Pupil Referral Service at Pathways Short Stay School. The Federation also provides a range of services to school stakeholders and the Local Authority through an Outreach Service and behaviour projects.
New Horizons Federation is currently entering an exciting new phase in its development. We are therefore seeking creative, pro-active individuals who are able to work within professional frameworks and have the personal skills and committed approach to make a significant impact on attendance and engagement for our students and their families. This is an opportunity for an innovative, dynamic professional to join a new team who will be working together to address and overcome barriers to engagement and support children and young people in developing good routines for sustained school attendance. Evidence of a solution-focused approach alongside experience of working with either challenging young people or complex families would be an advantage.
If you have enthusiasm, commitment and a desire to work with some of the most vulnerable and challenging young people in our community, we would welcome your application. High aspirations and a relentless approach towards excellence are the key skills we are seeking. Our expectations of attendance and behaviour are extremely high and we would therefore welcome colleagues who would embrace and adopt aspirational goals for our students. A background in special education is not required.
