Jamie Christian – Centre Lead
Experience:
I was Director of Post 16 at a specialist setting in Doncaster, this role then grew to lead on 14-19 education as well as Careers Lead for the school and lead on Preparing for Adulthood. In this time I developed the curriculum, leading to outstanding outcomes including young people with severe learning disabilities accessing paid employment and progressing on to courses within mainstream FE. I organised and led overseas residentials for young people with SLD, including visits to Belgium for the Special Olympics, Northern France and Disneyland Paris.
Prior to this role, I worked within City of Doncaster Council. This role included work on child voice and developing forums so that children and young people with SEND were heard during decision making processes. I also worked across Doncaster schools, chairing EHCP reviews, on mediation and identifying bespoke packages of support for children and young people with SEND.
Hobbies and Interests:
I have been to all 92 grounds in the top four divisions of English football and only need 3 to complete the National League. I take my daughter to watch and play football so most of my weekends are taken up by the beautiful game.
I love watching live music, I have a varied taste, but my favourites are probably Cast, Pulp and James.
Other than football and music, I’m fascinated by the night sky and have a couple of telescopes, pity the British weather doesn’t support this hobby!
Relevant Qualifications:
MA Education, Innovation & Enterprise
QTS
Post Graduate Certificate in Careers Leadership
NPQSL
Certificate in Education
Gold Level – Committed to Trauma Informed Practice
