We are seeking to appoint a flexible and supportive person, who enjoys the challenges and rewards of working with young people, to join our pastoral team. Your primary role will be to support the aims and objectives of the school to ensure that students make outstanding progress, by removing barriers to learning. Key areas of responsibility will include coordinating and administering all aspects of pastoral care and providing first line support to students on pastoral issues. You will work in partnership with teachers, parents/carers, support staff and outside agencies when necessary, to manage the behaviour, welfare and personal development of our students, ensuring they get the best from their time at school.

A relevant NVQ level 3 (or equivalent qualification) is essential, or a proven ability of working at this level in a similar position in either an education or health and social care setting. Teamwork is also an essential aspect of this role and the successful candidate will have excellent communication skills and the ability to work with a range of school professionals.

With over 700 students on roll, the school is at the heart of the local community, serving families in Ibstock and the surrounding villages of North-West Leicestershire.
