About the role

Wiltshire Virtual School strives to promote and support the education of all its children in care, wherever they are placed. We are a small but established team working in partnership with schools, colleges and early years settings, social workers and foster carers to create the best learning environments for our children.

Our post 16 young people in care continue to need support and encouragement throughout their college or 6thform courses if they are to achieve their full potential.

We aim to be aspirational for them, encouraging good attendance and engagement so that they can set their sights high and realise their ambitions.

The education advocate will be able to build up supportive relationships with these students, monitoring and promoting their attendance and ensuring that the young person’s voice is heard through the PEP process.

Interviews will be confirmed upon shortlisting.
