What skills and experience we're looking for
Due to the increased popularity of our school, and pastoral support is an integral part of supporting a learner’s academic success at Kepier, we are seeking to expand our Pastoral Support Team.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of our young people. The successful applicant will work closely with the Senior Pastoral Leaders, within safeguarding, wellbeing, behaviour and attendance, offering support and challenge to ensure that every learner can thrive.
Key responsibilities will include:
• Providing one-to-one and small group mentoring to support pupils’ personal, social and academic development.
• Working directly with children and young people experiencing challenges with mental health and wellbeing, behaviour, attendance and SEND
• Supporting looked-after children and acting as a key point of contact for their individual needs.
• Delivering early interventions linked to SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) to reduce barriers to learning.
• Carrying out administrative tasks, including accurate record-keeping and regular contact with parents and carers.
• Promoting positive behaviour, welfare and attendance across the school.
We are looking for someone who is approachable, resilient, highly organised and committed to supporting young people to reach their full potential.
What the school offers its staff
Join a team where support, positivity, and respect are part of everyday life. Enjoy great benefits including free onsite parking, free gym access, excellent catering, and membership of the LGPS pension scheme—helping you feel secure now and in the future.
Commitment to safeguarding
The school is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. As part of our due diligence and to comply with our obligations in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education, an online search of publicly available information will be undertaken for all shortlisted candidates. All School posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants will be subject to appropriate background checks and vetting including an enhanced DBS check and checks against the children’s barred list.
