What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an energetic and innovative Guidance Manager to take on the day-to-day leadership of our pupil support units, ‘The Hub’ and ‘The Lodge’. Our Guidance Managers are central to the progress of our pupils, and the successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to play a crucial role in supporting pupils’ progress and wellbeing.
The aim of ‘The Hub’ is to re-engage a small group of pupils in their education, recognising that not every pupil is the same and that some may require alternative ways to access their learning. ‘The Lodge’ focuses on providing support for pupils with Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA) and those pupils that are re-integrating to school for a range of reasons.
‘The Hub’ and ‘The Lodge’ are central to the inclusive ethos of our school and somewhere that the pupils see as a place of safety, where they can build relationships with each other and with trusted adults. While teachers will lead the majority of sessions for the pupils, the successful candidate’s role will be to provide day-to-day leadership of the provisions, be the pupils and parents first point of contact, alongside liaising with staff and external agencies to offer our pupils the platform for success in their future education and livelihood.
The successful candidate will:
- Be committed to supporting all pupils to achieve their “Personal Best”
- Lead by example
- Have excellent interpersonal skills
- Be forward thinking, resilient and able to work under pressure.
- Have proven literacy and numeracy skills. (Equivalent to at least a GCSE grade Corabovein Maths and English)
Whilst previous secondary school experience is not necessarily essential, a passion for supporting pupils to achieve their potential is crucial.
