Leader Education Outreach Workers Wanted in Oldham
Leader Education are seeking passionate and resilient Outreach workers to work in one of our partner schools in Oldham. The successful candidate will provide tailored support to students with SEMH needs, helping them to overcome challenges, develop positive behaviours, and achieve their full potential.
About the School
The school provides innovative, high-quality education for young people aged 14–19 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Rooted in a Maslow before Bloom philosophy and a relationship-first approach, the provision supports students to overcome barriers, re-engage with learning, and move confidently into adulthood, employment, further education or training.
Opportunities for Students
We promise to ensure all our students have the opportunity to:
- Gain a minimum of 4 Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent) qualifications, including Maths and English
- Gain a vocational qualification in a pathway of their choice
- Develop employability and life skills, including recognised qualifications
- Have real, meaningful work experiences, including being allocated a job coach, throughout their time at SPT
Community Support
We also believe that we cannot support our young people in isolation, and so always look for innovative ways to support our wider community, the young people’s families. This can be through offering a friendly ear / support to the adults around our students through to real, practical support via our ‘Project Pantry’, a one-stop option for families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.
About Us
Leader Education are a specialist MAT focussed on supporting young people across Greater Manchester with additional needs. Through the MAT, and our partnerships with wider external agencies, we can support our young people up to the age of 25, ensuring they have the best possible outcomes and move successfully into adulthood.

The Role
This role will form a key part in expanding our Adaptive curriculum offer; we are looking for innovative and passionate people to join our Elevate team, providing face to face mentoring, tutoring and support to students who are struggling to access traditional educational settings. You will be very independent, working on a caseload of students, deploying various skills and techniques supporting young people to become re-engaged with their education. You will be working with a team of intervention workers and under the oversight of a middle leader and supported by one of the Senior Leadership Team. You will be a crucial element in completely changing the life chances of some of the most vulnerable young people. We are looking for a team of people who will provide the relational support and engagement with young people where they are – either physically or emotionally, so potentially in their home or community venues, and even out of traditional school hours.
Essential Criteria
Applicants should be able to demonstrate how they meet the following essential criteria:
- Previous experience of working with young people of secondary school age who may present with challenging behaviour and complex SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) needs, preferably within an educational setting
- A nurturing, empathetic and trauma informed approach to behaviour management
- The physical and emotional resilience to support students with complex needs, taking a non-judgemental approach
- The ability to support, engagement, teaching and learning within an SEMH setting to a dedicated group of students
- The ability to model and encourage appropriate social behaviour in and out of school and to cater for the general welfare of students.
