Are you passionate about removing barriers to learning and ensuring every student achieves their full potential? Dyke House Academy, part of the Northern Education Trust, is seeking a dedicated and proactive Learning Manager to join our Deep Support team.

In this role, you will play a pivotal part in monitoring academic progress and behaviour across a designated year group. By leveraging data, strategic intervention, and close collaboration with parents and external agencies, you will help create an environment where every child can thrive.

• Parental & Community Engagement: Act as the primary link between parents/carers and the academy on non-departmental issues. Lead meetings on-site or at home addresses, carry out attendance checks, and undertake truancy sweeps when necessary.
• Student Well-being & Support Plans: Complete Pastoral Support Plans (PSPs) and Individual Behaviour Plans (IBPs). Support SLT at readmission meetings and attend formal Attendance Panels.
• Enrichment & Academy Life: Support out-of-academy activities, including organising Year 11 Prom, residential trips, open/parents' evenings, and student fundraising initiatives.
