Pastoral Leader

Our Lady & St. Bede Catholic Academy is looking to appoint a Pastoral Leader (Term time + 3 days) . As a Pastoral Leader you will play a vital role in supporting the emotional, social, and behavioural wellbeing of pupils, helping to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing school environment. This role is ideal for someone who is empathetic, resilient, and passionate about making a positive difference in young people’s lives.

Collaboration is key—you’ll liaise with teaching staff, senior leaders, external agencies, and parents to ensure a joined-up approach to pupil wellbeing. You’ll also contribute to the development of a strong pastoral culture across the school, supporting initiatives that build resilience, respect, and a sense of belonging.

This is a rewarding and impactful role that requires excellent communication skills, sound judgement, and a genuine commitment to supporting pupils through both challenges and successes.

We can offer:

• The opportunity to be part of a dynamic and successful team
• Access to Local Government Pension Scheme
• Networking opportunities.
