Learning Manager

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Targeted Academic & Behavioural Support: Utilise MIS tracking data to identify barriers to learning, intervene with internal truancy or lesson tardiness, and deliver targeted interventions for coursework and academic progress.
• Safeguarding & Multi-Agency Working: Record safeguarding incidents, write comprehensive student reports, and represent the academy at safeguarding Case Conferences, Children in Need, and Team Around the Child meetings.
• 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.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to build positive relationships with students, families, and multi-agency partners.
• Ability to analyse data and use MIS software to track attendance, behaviour, and attainment.
• High level of organisation and administrative capability, including writing multi-agency reports and completing event risk assessments.
• Unwavering commitment to child safeguarding, confidentiality, and data protection (GDPR).
• Flexibility to undertake occasional local travel and support out-of-academy activities.
