A commitment to working with students who present with severely challenging social, emotional and behavioural issues is essential as is a flexible approach to curriculum delivery.

PACC (Personalised Alternative Curriculum Centre) is an alternative KS4 provision serving up to 20 of the County’s most severe and complex students with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. PACC is managed as a part of Windlestone School’s provision but students referred to PACC stay on register with their referring school. A significant number of the students have additional challenges in their lives, often associated with criminality and substance misuse issues.

If you are a relentlessly positive and determined individual who is prepared to radically accept challenging young people and help to alter their perceptions of self-worth and capability, then please contact the school to find out more information. We would welcome you for a visit to PACC or for an informal discussion.

Please apply for this position by completing an application form and a letter outlining your experience and suitability for the post.
