The Haringey Learning Partnership was created in September 2020. In order to streamline services available to students with the Borough of Haringey, a number of services were brought in under the umbrella organisation of the Haringey Learning Partnership.

Our students come to us at various points during their secondary schooling – usually as a result of their previous school
placement having broken down, whether through ill-health, behaviour issues or other difficulties – frequently feeling less than
positive about themselves and their life chances. Our job is to help get them back on track, either through a return to regular schooling or by completing Year 11 with us, so that they emerge prepared to make a positive contribution wherever they go next.

We are looking for x1 part-time caretaker to fulfil our vacancy for a PM role. The shift will be contracted at 25 hours per week to allow for a seamless operation in our setting.

PM Shift 12:00 – 17:00
