We are looking for a strong and resilient progress lead to work at our expanding Extra Time Project. The

role of ‘progress Lead’ has been a newly created role that incorporates mentoring and tutoring pupils

through the 12-week programme. This is carried out in a range of tasks including leading a tutor group of

4-6 pupils that are struggling in mainstream education due to a range of reasons affecting their emotions

and behaviours. The progress lead will also be responsible for leading up to two subjects of their choice

that would be beneficial to the pupils on the provision. This could be subjects including PE, Food

Technology, Media or any other subject that you believe would capture the imagination of the young

learners. Pupils are aged 11-13 years old. The progress lead would be required to design their own 12-

week curriculum. The correct candidate would need to log weekly progress through the weekly reports that

are sent home and to ‘parent’ schools. A good knowledge of safeguarding is required along with the ability

to connect and build relationships quickly. All staff will be required to complete mandatory training before

the first academic day on the project
