Do you have a passion for supporting young people and their families to overcome barriers to education?
UET Pathfinder Academy is a unique and diverse provision that supports young people from across the county. Across all of our sites, our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. We believe every child is capable of achieving great things and that every young person deserves access to an excellent education.

- Demonstrate excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
- Be committed to making a positive difference to the lives of young people and their families.
