Are you passionate about improving and promoting educational outcomes for our children in the care of Lincolnshire and those previously looked after? The Virtual School is looking to recruit one permanent Education (Progress) Co-ordinator to join our well‑established team. The Virtual School supports education settings in and outside of Lincolnshire, providing professional challenge, advice and guidance on meeting the needs of our children in care and previously looked after children. Experience working with young people and education settings is essential. We are a busy team and the ability to work under pressure, manage conflicting priorities and remain resilient is essential. The capacity to build relationships with young people, staff in educational settings and colleagues across Children’s Services in what are often emotive and complex situations is also essential.

Our key aims are to ensure all our children in care have high quality and effective Personal Education Plans which support attendance, progress, attainment and aspiration.
What are we looking for?

- Good time management, working to tight deadlines and responding to the needs of our children in care, education providers and professionals which will involve regular travel around the county.
- An understanding of the unique needs of our children in care and how they can be best supported in educational settings.
- Resilience and tenacity; casework is frequently complex, emotive and challenging.
