Pastoral Co-ordinator

We are working with a secondary school who is graded 'Good' (November 2023) and has a state of the art building offering fantastic facilities for both students and staff. Over the last 8 years the academy has seen a huge increase in student numbers, with the number of students on roll more than doubling. The academy is a popular choice in the local area, is oversubscribed, and has added another new building to meet this demand.

This school is a great place to work with a friendly and supportive team. Staff numbers have also increased and the academy is proud to boast high retention rates. Development is a priority with an extensive and successful CPD (Continuing Professional Development) programme to further develop our excellent staff.

We are looking for a Pastoral Leader to join our team and take a proactive role in supporting the well-being, behaviour, and attendance of our students. This is a vital position for someone who is passionate about helping young people thrive both personally and academically.
