      About the role:

      The Central Collegiate network of Schools for Birmingham is seeking a dedicated and proactive Central Collegiate Inclusion Manager to play a key role in promoting inclusion and supporting positive outcomes for children and young people across our schools. Working closely with school leaders, pastoral teams and the Central Sharing Panel, as well as the Local Authority, you will help ensure that vulnerable pupils at risk of exclusion, pupils on off-site direction and placements receive the support, guidance and opportunities they need to succeed in education.

      This is a rewarding and varied role focused on supporting the most vulnerable pupils in the central network, coordinating and monitoring placements, supporting successful transitions, engaging with families, and using data to identify and respond to emerging concerns. You will be instrumental in helping schools make off-site directions successful, reduce exclusions, improve placement stability, and enable vulnerable pupils to remain engaged in learning, ensuring every child has the best chance to achieve their full potential.

      Our values and ways of working mean a great deal to us across the Central Collegiate; openness, integrity, collegiality and a determination to support all children to be successful underpin all that we do, and so it is important that you champion our values and ways of working, as well as championing children.
