Join Us in Shaping a Bold New Chapter for Learners in Transition!

We're launching an exciting new initiative across Kepier and our partner primary school, and we're looking for a dynamic Transition Worker who will take the opportunity to build confidence, creativity, and curriculum readiness in Year 6 learners through the power of performing arts in preparation for starting secondary school.

This is a hands-on, collaborative role that spans multiple schools, reinforcing Kepier's transition programme and strengthening relationships between learners, staff, and families.

You'll be instrumental in boosting engagement and ensuring every learner feels seen, supported, and ready for Key Stage 3.

If you're passionate about creative education, confident in leading performing arts-based interventions, and ready to make a lasting impact on learner wellbeing and progression we welcome you to join us and help shape a transition experience that's joyful, empowering, and unforgettable.

The school is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment.
