Programme Manager (North Belfast) - Reach Programme

As Programme Manager within North Belfast, you will be working with 10 primary and secondary schools, as well as local providers, serving low-income communities to support them in developing interventions that will transform outcomes for those most at risk of exclusion. Each school will have identified 10 pupils to participate in the programme.

You will support identified staff from within the management teams across your schools to:

1. Effectively embed interventions from a range of our evidence based delivery partners
2. Support the adoption of a research-led approach to improving outcomes for those young people at risk of exclusion, helping the schools to identify and evidence need, before designing and delivering collective solutions to these needs.
3. Help the schools to reflect on the learning gained through this work and spread that learning throughout the school.
4. Share best practice and learning across the cluster.

You will also work with the wider Reach Programme team to share challenges and learning, accelerating the programme’s effectiveness in helping schools to support those most at risk of exclusion.

If you have at least 3 years’ experience in the Northern Irish education sector (including working with young people at risk of exclusion), experience working in the North Belfast context and a track record of leading successful initiatives targeting improved pupil outcomes - and you can prove to us you have the ability to influence, inspire and to initiate change, then please take a look at the detailed job specification, which gives further details on requirements for the role and how to apply.

This role is part time (3-4 days a week) and is fixed term to 31 December 2020 (to the end of current funding). We would be open to secondments from the local setting.
