About the role:

At Horizons, we are unwavering in our commitment to safeguarding, supporting, and empowering every young person in our care. We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Family and Welfare Officer to play a pivotal role in promoting the safety, wellbeing, and engagement of our students. This is a key position within the school, working at the heart of our provision to ensure that barriers to attendance, participation and learning are understood and effectively addressed.

You will join a highly skilled, dedicated and supportive safeguarding and welfare team, where collaboration, professional trust and a shared moral purpose underpin all that we do. The successful candidate will be instrumental in strengthening relationships with families, external agencies and the wider community, ensuring that our students receive the coordinated support they need to thrive both in school and beyond.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a tangible difference to the lives of vulnerable young people, within a nurturing and reflective working environment that values staff wellbeing and professional development.

About Us

About Us

Welcome to Horizons Academy Bexley, where every decision that we make is made with the best interests of the child in mind and focused on ensuring that all of our children and young people have the best possible experience whilst attending the school.

We do this by creating a positive learning environment, where each pupil feels safe and happy to contribute to the wider school community. We ensure that all pupils that attend Horizons Academy receive support to achieve their goals, whether that be towards positive outcomes at the end of Key Stage 4 and successful transition into Year 12 or an opportunity to be re-integrated back into a mainstream or specialist setting.

About the Trust

London South East Academies Trust is a growing and ambitious Multi-Academy Trust, currently comprising mainstream, special and alternative provision academies, alongside an outreach service and a music hub. Our schools are located across Bromley, Bexley, Sussex, Lambeth and Surrey, serving a wide range of communities and educational contexts.

Across the Trust, our schools share a strong commitment to raising attainment, encouraging aspiration and supporting social mobility for every pupil, throughout their educational journey and beyond. We take a holistic but personalised approach to education, recognising that children thrive when their individual strengths, needs and circumstances are properly understood and supported. This enables pupils to flourish and achieve their full potential, whatever their starting point.

We believe that great schools are built by great people. As a Trust, we invest in our staff through strong professional development and leadership opportunities, clear expectations and supportive structures. We actively encourage collaboration and the sharing of best practice across schools, supported by high-quality, cost-effective central services that allow leaders and teachers to focus on what matters most: improving outcomes for pupils.

London South East Academies Trust sits within the Elevare Civic Education Group, which also includes a multi-campus further and higher education college, London South East Colleges and a charitable foundation, Elevare Education Foundation. This unique structure provides meaningful progression pathways for pupils and families, as well as broad development and career opportunities for staff across the wider Group.

Our teams are united by a shared belief in the power of education to change lives. By continuing to grow our Trust and welcoming new expertise and perspectives, we aim to strengthen our schools further and extend the positive impact we have on our communities.
