We are seeking an exceptional Pastoral Support Assistant to join our ambitious and evolving pastoral team in an exciting newly created role at the heart of our developing pastoral provision.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape and establish systems, processes and ways of working that will have a direct impact on the support we provide to our students and families. As a key member of the team, you will provide dedicated administrative support across all aspects of pastoral care, ensuring the smooth coordination of student support processes and helping to deliver a responsive, high-quality service.

You will manage pastoral communications, coordinate meetings and diaries, prepare reports and documentation, and ensure that parents, carers and the wider school community receive timely, professional and consistent support. Working closely with pastoral leaders, you will play a vital role in ensuring that our pastoral provision is organised, effective and student-centred.

This role is ideal for a highly organised, proactive and discreet professional who thrives in a busy environment, has excellent communication skills and understands the importance of confidentiality and attention to detail.

If you share our values of kindness, curiosity and resilience, and are excited by the opportunity to contribute to a growing pastoral provision and make a meaningful difference to the lives of young people, we would be delighted to hear from you.
