Assistant Sixth Form Lead - Pastoral support worker job summary

With four of our current team becoming trainee teachers, we are looking for more Learning Support Assistants to join our increasing Grow and Thrive team. The successful candidates will be passionate about working with young people, and preferably have a knowledge of the local area or similar area.

We offer exceptional training and development opportunities. We will offer extensive support and guidance to help you achieve your aspirations while you help the children achieve theirs. You may work across the school, or specialise within an identified subject area where you will be supporting and learning from others. The ability to specialise in literacy would be welcome, but not necessary.

We are looking for a dynamic and inspiring person to support our Sixth Form students by working closely with the Sixth Form leadership team. This new role will combine pastoral support, with academic mentoring to help each student to successfully prepare for the next stage of their lives, whether that is in education, employment, or training.

We have an inclusive sixth form, with three disctinctive pathways, including a traditional A Level program, three T Levels (in Digital, Business, and Health), and a pre-apprenticeship course.

Saracens High School has a family ethos and is committed to supporting staff in this rewarding job, while recognising the stress it puts upon us. With generous teacher loadings, an on-site gym that is free for staff, the opportunity for colleagues to take family days, and access to a staff counsellor, we do all we can to look after our staff.

With strong ties to the wider Saracens organisation, we base all we do on the values Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility and we focus on character development and making memories, as much as outstanding academic attainment. Last year, KS4 progress was in the top 20% nationally, and KS4 attainment in the top 9%. This summer we will receive our first ever KS5 results.

Our aim is to develop aspirational life-long learners, who will thrive in their chosen career path, embracing our values, and demonstrating a strong moral purpose and a desire to make a positive contribution to society and their local community.
