School Transitions Officer
The School Transitions Officer is responsible for actively working with local schools and external agencies to support young people in making a successful transition into college, playing a vital role in student recruitment, progression and retention.
The postholder will build and maintain strong relationships with local schools, parents/carers, young people and key stakeholders, including a wide range of specialist schools, to coordinate structured and supportive transition pathways for young people with SEND needs and EHCPs. There will be a specific focus on primary schools in the Sedgemoor area, but the role requires flexible work across all four USC Colleges.
The School Transitions Officer will be a key point of contact for schools and will attend planning meetings and EHCP annual reviews to gain a clear understanding of potential students. The postholder will support offer guidance to learners, particularly those with additional needs or vulnerabilities, towards suitable courses and will provide college curriculum with key information on learners. This includes arranging taster sessions and facilitating robust, learner‑centred transition plans.
In addition, the postholder will play an integral role in the EHCP consultation process and proactively identify and respond to individual student needs, providing effective, solution‑focused support to enable positive outcomes.
This dynamic role requires strong organisational, communication and problem‑solving skills, alongside a commitment to inclusive practice and providing a high-quality learner experience.
