Do you pride yourself on your ability to build and maintain good working relationships with young pupils? Can you empathise whilst being firm but fair?
Milestone Academy have a great opportunity and are seeking to appoint a Student Services Officer for their Secondary Phase who will support students with attendance, their behaviour for learning and their emotional well-being.
The Student Services Officer will take on responsibilities to provide support to other pastoral staff, involving behaviour mentoring, liaising with other provisions where students are educated off site and supporting attendance and punctuality. Whilst full training will be offered when in post, our successful candidate will have some prior experience of working in a similar capacity directly with young people, offering an empathetic and restorative outlook for the benefit of the students.
This is a fixed-term position offering an actual salary of £19,933 per annum (£27,007 full-time equivalent) based on working 31.75 hours per week, term time + 1 week of inset.

We currently have 385 pupils on roll aged between the ages of 2 and 19. Milestone Academy has been judged as Outstanding by Ofsted at our last three inspections.

Being part of Leigh Academies Trust: As of 1st April 2024, our Trust comprises 32 geographically organised academies (16 secondaries, 14 primaries and 2 special) educating more than 20,000 students and employing 3,000 talented staff. Nearly 40% of our academies are judged outstanding overall by Ofsted, versus 15% nationally. The Trust is establishing four ‘clusters’ of academies: North Kent; Central Kent; South East London; Medway. In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region’s biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub and is an accredited apprenticeship provider. Our future plans are found in our Vision 2030 document available on our website.
As part of Leigh Academies Trust, you will have ample opportunity to collaborate with your peers both within the academy and across the whole Trust. This is an important part of our vision as we know through experience that we perform better when we work together. You are supported to undertake regular self-development to continue your professional development and hopefully progress further within the organisation.
