ADL supports children who are unable to attend mainstream education.

We provide a live platform for teaching and learning through a remote network of home-based teachers and deliver live lessons in small groups via online classrooms supported by an extensive library of e-teaching & learning materials.

About Momenta Connect
At Momenta Connect, we support young people to overcome barriers and engage with education.
Our services include education attendance and safeguarding, diagnostic and therapeutic support and online learning, all aimed at rebuilding and maintaining a young person’s connection to education. We believe in the ability of every individual we support to progress and succeed. We are ambitious for their future and are committed to challenging and overcoming any obstacles to this.
We give those we support a stronger voice and work collaboratively with parents and educational partners to develop thinking and approaches that will inspire choice, improve accessibility and open doors.
We are an advocate of early intervention, and we work in partnership with local authorities, schools and families to enable children to remain in existing settings.
The thread that runs through Momenta Connect is our commitment to prove that progress is possible. Our specialist support provides families and young people with the opportunity to shape their own future and achieve incredible outcomes.
How do we achieve and deliver the ’Incredible’?
We are dedicated to providing exceptional educational opportunities and care for neurodivergent young people. Our focus is on ensuring that each of our pupils has access to learning that is tailored to their needs, enabling them to overcome specific barriers, achieve personal goals, and celebrate their successes. At the heart of everything we do is the individual pupil.
Our efforts are paying off - in the last academic year alone, we educated over 3,000 neurodivergent pupils, and 98% of our schools were given an Ofsted rating of good or outstanding. Even more importantly, 100% of our leavers go on to employment, education, or training - a significantly higher rate than the national average.
Why work for us?
Your health and well-being are important to us, so you’ll get an exceptional reward package including:
* Life Assurance
* Pension scheme with options to increase your contributions.
* “Your Wellbeing Matters” – access to a wide range of first-class mental health support services and physical health checks
And a market-leading benefit offering through our Flexible Benefits Platform, Vista, enables you to choose the package that’s right for you, including:
* A wide range of health, wellbeing, and insurance benefits
* 100’s of discount options valid in the UK and abroad
* Cycle to Work Schemes
* Electric Car Purchase Scheme
* Critical illness cover
And that’s not all; we place the outcomes of the pupils and vulnerable young adults in our services at the heart of everything we do, so you’ll wake every day knowing that your role will have a significant positive impact on the lives of others.
We look forward to receiving your application!
