Fixed Term until 31st July 2027

In Kent, our approach to the ‘Turnaround’ programme is to enhance our Adolescent Early Help offer by providing specialist education, training, and employment support, to maximise attendance, engagement, and attainment of a target group of children.

We’re looking to recruit an Education, Training and Employment (ETE) Officer for our Turnaround team. Posts are funded by the Ministry of Justice until the end of March 2029. ETE Officers are required for the following areas: North Kent (Swale) and West Kent (Maidstone) and will be aligned to, and working alongside, the Adolescent Early Help unit in that area, and line managed by the Unit Lead.

For internal applicants, this can be a part-time secondment opportunity available for one year, working four days per week.

We’re looking for motivated and skilled people with a mixture of excellent knowledge of the education, training, and employment landscape (including legislation and practice in relation to part-time tables, inclusion, and attendance), with the enthusiasm and resilience to offer excellent hands-on, practical support directly to children and their families.
