What skills and experience we're looking for

The post holder will lead and coordinate the development of established and new ways of managing the pastoral brief; to include personal development, behaviour and welfare; to meet individual pupil needs. The post holder will move our pastoral work forward through the development, sharing and monitoring of new policies and strategies; either developed internally or following observation of external good practice; and within the overall vision of the Pastoral Review. This must ensure all pupils reach their potential. This will include learners of all abilities and dispositions; HAPs through to those pupils who may be vulnerable to disengagement. The school continues to place learners at the heart of all that we do and aspire to do, but much more must and can be done, so ensuring consistency and excellence in each and every learning and pastoral situation. The post holder will broker a response to the needs of individuals and groups of colleagues using strategies and mechanisms from within the school, the Trust, Learners First network and beyond.

The postholder will be asked to contribute more widely to school to school improvement and they must be able to demonstrate that they can represent the school positively and professionally in a range of contexts. The postholder will look to forge and establish links with other practitioners in other institutions through a support and challenge network.

The post involves leading the Teaching Heads of Year, and non-teaching Behaviour for Learning leaders, supporting governors, partner primary schools and post 16 providers, to address the needs of all students. The postholder will lead on and be accountable for excellence planning, appraisal and CPD for the designated areas of responsibility.
