Opportunity overview

The Council is seeking to commission a targeted early intervention, careers support for vulnerable pupils with additional needs to help reduce the risk of young people disengaging at the point of transition, improve their wellbeing and life chances, and support delivery of wider borough objectives for children and young people. This service is required to maintain engagement in education, raise aspirations and ensure that identified pupils have clear, realistic and supported post-16 plans.

Key requirements: Deliver targeted SEND careers and post-16 transition support for approximately 15 pupils in each secondary school. Focus on Year 10 and Year 11 pupils working towards GCSE grades 1–3 who have a known additional need or receive SEND support. Support pupils at risk of poor post-16 transition outcomes to remain engaged in education. Identify suitable post-16 pathways and support preparation for college or training applications. Provide follow-up activity so each young person has an appropriate plan in place for September of Year 12.
