Summary
About Us
Amplify Education is a newly formed multi-academy trust of 22 schools in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, created through the thoughtful and planned merger of TiLA and CST. A bold voice for Bristol, we build belief in every young person, expand opportunities, nurture potential and strengthen citizenship. If you’re looking for a Trust that is ambitious, reflective and collaborative, Amplify Education could be the perfect place for you.
We invite you to join our team at Bristol Cathedral Choir School. We exist to provide a world-class education for the children of Bristol – so that they leave with a deep understanding of the world around them. The school is a highly oversubscribed state cathedral choir school with a rich history and a Christian ethos. It is a music school, educating choristers for Bristol Cathedral for the past 880 years and offers an enhanced and rich musical experience for all. The school provides a traditional academic curriculum to its students, regardless of their background or ability, and emphasises the teaching of ‘Powerful Knowledge’.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Pastoral Support Lead to join our dedicated and student-centred team as soon as possible. If you join us, a typical week in this role may see you lead targeted pastoral interventions, work closely with Heads of Year and senior leaders to improve behaviour and attendance, engage with families, and liaise with external agencies to support vulnerable students. You will play a key role in safeguarding, coordinating support plans and promoting a safe, inclusive environment where all students can thrive.
You are likely to have gained strong behaviour management skills and experience of multi-agency working through your career or personal experience. You will be able to bring us empathy, resilience and a calm, solution-focused approach. You will have practical skills in supporting young people, building relationships with parents and professionals, applying learning support techniques, and managing databases and administrative tasks.
This role will assist the Head of Year (HoY) in delivering excellent academic support and pastoral care for all pupils and will be primarily supporting Y10 students for the 25/26 academic year. This permanent role is for 4 days per week for the remainder of the 2025/2026 academic year. From September 1st 2026, the role will transition to 5 days per week.
