Studio West is an exciting new studio school due to open in September 2014. Sponsored by Kenton Multi Academy Trust which incorporates Kenton School, an extremely successful secondary school, the largest in the North East, Studio West will cater for around 300 students aged between 13 and 19.
At Studio West, in addition to mainstream qualifications (including GCSEs, A Levels, and occupational and professional qualifications), we will offer an innovative and personalised curriculum for every child focused on developing key employability and life skills required by employers. Already over-subscribed in Years 9 and 10, our mission will be to make sure that every child who leaves Studio West does so with a university or college place, an apprenticeship or a job.
We know the key to our success will be having a strong team committed to the ethos of the school with the skills, dedication and passion to motivate and instill high expectations in every child to achieve their potential regardless of the barriers they face.
We are seeking applications for the post of Business Engagement Manager to promote a culture of work related learning which complements all students’ study of the national curriculum. The postholder will actively secure paid and unpaid work placements for all our students matched to their academic programme and which will contribute to the project based learning culture of the School. The role will also involve working closely with curriculum teams to ensure that curriculum design is closely aligned to employer and student need; fostering the development of high quality business skills in all Studio School students.
We are seeking an exceptional candidate with a proven track record of working effectively with secondary school age children/young people. A candidate who possesses both excellent interpersonal skills and a proactive and flexible approach to work. And most importantly a candidate who has the skills, knowledge and abilities to work with students and businesses to make sure the right student is matched with the right business.
If you think you are the person we are looking for, further details and an application form are available from our website at www.studiowestnewcastle.com or by telephoning our HR Team on 0191 214 2211/06.
Closing date: 2 May 2014 at 12noon
