A growing education organisation is looking for a Named QTS Lead to join its Education Delivery team. The organisation provides 1:1 tuition and mentoring for children and young people who are temporarily outside mainstream education, at risk of disengagement, or in need of specialist support to access learning. This is not a standard teaching role. You will not be delivering lessons every day. Instead, you will be the named education professional responsible for overseeing each learner’s programme from referral through to exit, making sure provision is carefully planned, professionally managed and genuinely responsive to the learner’s needs. About the Role As a Named QTS Lead, you will hold a varied caseload of learners, many of whom may have SEND, SEMH, social care involvement, complex needs or disrupted educational histories. You will assess referrals, review available information, speak with families and professionals, and help design bespoke education programmes that meet each learner’s needs. This may include thinking about hours, tutor profile, learning environment, risk, engagement, reintegration and next steps. You will act as the education lead for each learner, maintaining strong relationships with families, commissioners, tutors, mentors and wider professional networks. You will attend and contribute to meetings such as TACs, CINs, Annual Reviews, EHCP reviews and other multi-agency discussions where appropriate. You will also support and guide tutors and mentors, reviewing progress, moderating reports and making sure programmes remain purposeful, safe and focused on outcomes. What You’ll Be Doing You will assess new learner referrals and identify key needs, risks, strengths and barriers to learning. You will design bespoke education programme structures, including recommendations around hours, tutor/mentor profile, learning approach, venue and risk mitigation. You will oversee learner progress, engagement, reporting and reintegration planning. You will work closely with tutors and mentors, offering guidance, feedback and professional support. You will build positive, professional relationships with parents, carers, commissioners, schools, local authorities and external professionals. You will attend and contribute to multi-agency meetings as the named education professional. You will manage difficult conversations calmly and professionally, always keeping the learner’s best interests at the centre. You will ensure safeguarding concerns are acted on promptly and escalated correctly. You will keep accurate records, monitor programme documentation and ensure information is up to date across systems. Who This Role Would Suit This role would suit someone who has worked as a: Qualified Teacher SENCO or Assistant SENCO Inclusion Lead Alternative Provision Teacher SEND Teacher SEMH Teacher Pastoral or Behaviour Lead Education Programme Lead Virtual School / LA Education Officer Tutor Provision LeadYou may currently be working in a school, alternative provision, SEND setting, tuition service, local authority education team or specialist education organisation. The most important thing is that you have QTS, strong professional judgement, excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable learners. What We’re Looking For You must have Qualified Teacher Status. You will have experience working with children or young people with SEND, SEMH, complex needs, social care involvement or barriers to accessing education. You will be confident assessing learner needs, planning support and adapting provision when circumstances change. You will be able to build strong relationships with families, commissioners, educators and wider professional networks. You will be calm, professional and confident when managing difficult conversations. You will have strong safeguarding awareness and be willing to act as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, with training provided. You will be highly organised and able to manage a large, varied caseload independently. You will be comfortable working with documentation, learner records, reports, risk assessments and programme information. Above all, you will care deeply about helping children and young people access education in a way that works for them. Why Apply? This is a role with real purpose. You will be joining a growing, values-led education organisation that works with some of the most vulnerable young people in the country. You will have the chance to use your teaching expertise in a different way, shaping provision, guiding tutors, supporting families and helping learners move towards positive next steps. If you are a QTS-qualified education professional who is passionate about SEND, inclusion and alternative pathways into learning, this could be an excellent next step. Apply today If this sounds like the right role for you, please send your CV to Billy @ Create Education and we will be in touch to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
