Mary Astell Academy is an alternative provision academy established in September 2018. Based in the West End of Newcastle, the academy works with young people aged 11 to 16 who have been permanently excluded from mainstream education. We provide access to a full-time, broad and balanced education appropriate to pupils’ potential and educational needs and encourage their reintegration back into a mainstream school setting wherever possible.

Our young people are also able to access a wide range of therapeutic interventions to support them in recognising and understanding triggers for their behaviours and explore strategies that support them in dealing with these. We recognise that ACEs and traumatic experiences have often impacted upon the lives of our young people and that for many of them not only have they survived but have shown great strength in doing so. At Mary Astell we seek to restore them and help individuals return to a path towards happy and fulfilling adult lives.

Required as soon as possible, 2 x Pastoral Support Officers with an interest in working with pupils with SEMH and challenging behaviours. This post is Term Time Only plus 5 training days. FTE Salary is £26,873 - £28,770 (actual £23,075 - £24,703).

The successful candidates will be deployed initially at Mary Astell Academy but will be expected to work at any Prosper Learning Trust site should the need arise.
