The National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education The National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education (NRCSE) is a national strategic and support organisation for community-led supplementary schools and the wider supplementary education sector across England.  Established in 2006, we became an independent, registered charity (1150621) in 2013 and the national champion for excellence, innovation and partnership in supplementary education. We campaign throughout England on behalf of supplementary/mother-tongue schools and their students, tutors and leaders. We work with supplementary/mother-tongue schools to raise their profile and their standards of teaching, learning and management.

NRCSE facilitates the only nationally-recognised quality assurance scheme targeted specifically at providers of out-of-school education – the NRCSE Quality Mark. Since 2009, over 500 organisations have completed basic safeguarding standards with 180 moving on to a higher award. Quality assured schools are listed on our online directory of schools according to region and subjects offered.

In order to quality assure supplementary schools we visit them, provide training, networking opportunities and support, guide them through our safeguarding code of practice and Quality Mark quality assurance scheme.

What will I be doing?

In this role, you will, in collaboration with other members of the Quality Development Team, provide a support and coordination service to supplementary schools within the six London boroughs in the project including: mentoring towards quality assurance, signposting, brokering, advocacy and contributing toward existing initiatives supporting supplementary schools within each borough.

The principle goals are to support out-of-school settings to adopt safe and effective practices, develop the teaching and learning taking place in their settings, and move on to quality assure their provision and gain the NRCSE Quality Mark. You will be expected to forge strong working and learning relations with community management committees and staff involved in the project, visiting their classes and providing them with advice, identifying appropriate training opportunities, supporting them to complete management files and portfolios of evidence of their work.
