What skills and experience we're looking for

Kelvin Hall School is looking for a committed practitioner to support, develop and implement our strategies for working with students and families to overcome barriers to learning. We are looking for someone who believes in building strong relationships with students and families and is willing to go the extra mile to support them in being successful both in and outside of school.

The role is to assist in leading and managing the provision for children looked after/previously looked after and vulnerable children within the school. The successful candidate will establish themselves as the first point of contact for carers and other relevant parties in relation to the appropriate students and track their ongoing progress. Previous experience in supporting at-risk or vulnerable students, and experience and understanding of teenage children would be advantageous for this role. This position will require the ability to work effectively on complex situations, showing initiative. For more details about the role please see the job description.

The role requires the successful candidate to liaise closely with the Pastoral Year Leader, Assistant Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, pupils, parents, pastoral and academic staff and Year 6 primary school staff supporting effective transition from primary to secondary school. This is a varied role working closely with students, as well as the wider school staff adhering to the school’s behaviour procedures and policies to promote the welfare and protection of all students attending the school.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking School which is committed to academic excellence; continual development of staff; and innovative teaching and learning strategies. This is within the context of outstanding pastoral care and curricular provision to ensure the best possible student experience.
