This is an exciting opportunity for you to join and shape our dynamic and thriving Virtual School team as a Lead Achievement Officer.

This role may be of interest to those who work in or with education settings, those passionate about inclusion and working for the benefit of children in vulnerable situations.


The Virtual School for looked after children has a statutory duty to ensure that Nottinghamshire's looked after children achieve the very best educational outcomes they can.

This challenging and rewarding post requires facilitation of collaborative working with partners and services.

In Nottinghamshire, the Virtual School forms part of 'Psychology & Inclusion Services', and the Lead Achievement Officers are responsible for promoting inclusive practice and empowering colleagues to maximise educational outcomes.


The Virtual School has extended duties to promote the education of previously looked after children, children with a social worker and children in kinship care.

This role will provide ongoing support for a team of Achievement Officers and will feed into the Virtual School Senior Leadership Team.


As part of the Virtual School you will be provided with extensive peer support and access to in-house CPD opportunities.

You will be given regular supervision and be an active member of an evolving team.


We encourage people from a range of backgrounds to apply, especially people currently under-represented in the Virtual School profession e.g.

black and minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+, male, consider yourself to have a disability and from a low socioeconomic background.
