**Job Title:** Curriculum Manager (4 days per week pro-rata)

Every learner participates in personal development programme alongside their vocational studies. Its purpose is bigger than preparing young people to pass a qualification: we want to develop rounded, informed, and reflective human beings with the knowledge, skills, and behaviour's to build positive relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them, and to lead purposeful lives with integrity.

Our established curriculum explores the issues young people encounter locally and the bigger questions that shape their lives and society: relationships, identity, sex and sexual health, mental health, politics, citizenship, equality, media, religion and ethics, finance, climate and sustainability, alongside emerging social and cultural issues.

Personal Development was graded Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023, with inspectors recognising the quality of the social and personal development program and learner's ability to engage sensitively with controversial and emotive subjects.

• Facilitate difficult conversations while maintaining a structured learning environment.
• Create safe spaces for young people to question, disagree, reflect, and develop their thinking.
• Oversee resources and delivery for subcontracted Study Programme provision.
• Support the development and delivery of an appropriate PSHE curriculum.

The Person

• Substantial successful experience in education, personal development, PSHE, or related fields.
• Evidence of engaging learners effectively with complex and sensitive subjects.
