Could an opportunity to join Kent’s Virtual School for Children in Care be what you are looking for? If so, we’d like to meet you…

We are seeking an experienced Education Support Officer to focus on the progression of year 11 students towards post 16 education / work related training for the West Kent Locality.

This puts our children’s services among the top 30 per cent in the country and recognises that we have made substantial improvements since our previous inspection, despite some difficult challenges along the way.

Importantly it also recognises the hard work of our amazing Children in Care and Care Leavers, the work of VSK and partner services/ professionals in improving academic and wider outcomes as well as providing opportunities to have fun and share their voice.

Please complete the VSK Rewards Nomination Form 2016/17 for any Kent child or young person in care that you feel should be considered for an award in one of our seven categories. A separate form needs to be completed for each child you wish to nominate and you must fully explain the contribution or improvement that has been seen over the past academic year. We won’t be able to consider nominations if they just have something like ‘yes’ or ‘excellent’ in the box; we need the story behind.
