As part of the Delta Education Trust, Delta Bespoke creates and manages bespoke learning packages for young people who are struggling with their current education provision. Our vision, Happiness in the Pursuit of Learning embodies our passion for creating learning and educational opportunities for students who find being in the classroom difficult.
At Delta, we really care about our pupils and their attitude towards learning. We pride ourselves on creating exciting learning environments and innovative curriculums suitable for all ages and abilities. With Delta Bespoke, pupils learn to become knowledgeable, self aware, independent and emotionally regulated. Creating students who are happy with themselves, brave enough to cope and confident enough to make positive decisions, wherever life takes them.

Are you an enthusiastic and resilient individual, full of empathy and understanding who can bring this vision to life and make a real difference to the lives and future prospects of our young people? If so, then this role could be for you.
Your role within Delta Bespoke’s Emotional Learning team (with the support of our Head of Emotional Learning) will be to manage a caseload of students who are currently unable to access a formal full time school placement. You will be responsible for monitoring, reviewing and reporting their engagement and progress, ensuring the placements provided are meeting the educational and emotional needs of the students and are good value for money for our commissioners. You will also be required to work closely with families and education providers to help with successful reintegration back to more formal education.
Our Bespoke Education programmes create a unique balance between academic and emotional learning and provide opportunities for young people to develop emotionally and build the resilience and self-esteem in order to re-engage with their learning and in turn, their education.
