We are recruiting a Family Support Worker to support the emotional and social wellbeing of our pupils. We are looking for someone who can build trusting relationships with both parents and pupils to help engage them with their education.

We aim to show this in everything that we do in our school: in our lives as education professionals; in our relationships with the children and their families; and in our determination to provide the best learning and pastoral experiences for all children.
In joining us, you will be part of a friendly and welcoming staff team and a supportive community. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills in an environment that has a strong focus on support and CPD whatever career stage you are at.
