Internal Alternative Provision Manager - #1757228

We are looking to recruit an inspirational and enthusiastic Internal Alternative Provision Manager to oversee Reach College – our new on-site Alternative Provision (AP) for Roundhay pupils and those from external schools. We are looking for a strong and confident communicator with high expectations of themselves and others, who will put the successful reintegration of young people at the centre of everything they do.
