Are you able to develop positive professional relationships with our young people? Can you support students to reflect, repair and re-engage? Do you have the skills to enable students to reach their full potential regardless of past behaviours? If so, we need you!

We are seeking someone who is a strong team player, hardworking and enthusiastic to join our exceptional pastoral team. The successful candidate will be responsible for our Reset Room (isolation room), managing this important provision to provide students with the right environment and support to reflect and repair. You will co-ordinate the availability of learning resources, ensuring no lost learning time, but more than that, you will be a trusted adult who mentors and guides students to make better choices and truly excel. As a member of our pastoral team, you will contribute to the wider school community and will have the opportunity to make a life changing difference to our students, well beyond the confines of a single room.

We are therefore looking for someone who has a range of experiences, skills and attributes and who is committed to our mission of transforming lives together.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a school and trust which is thriving, in a role where you can really make a difference. This role is suited to both a teacher and non-teacher and we can’t wait to hear from you.

What the role involves in a nutshell:

  • Co-ordinating internal isolations, liaising with parents, students and staff as necessary.
  • Supervising the Reset room, ensuring that students’ behaviour meets our high standards and expectations.
  • Contributing to the wider pastoral team and working directly with students across school to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.
  • Providing work and resources that enable students to make progress while in Reset.
  • Liaise with teaching staff to facilitate their successful return to lessons.

What will you get in return?

You’ll be joining a school and Trust which is all about putting staff first – with numerous wellbeing initiatives and social events to enjoy each term.

Benefits:

  • A supportive and forward-thinking Leadership Team.
  • Automatic enrolment to the West Yorkshire Pension Fund.
  • Free Parking.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme.
  • Additional holidays linked to service.
  • Eye Care.
  • Annual Flu Vaccines.
  • Home & Technology Scheme.
  • Rewards and discounts.
  • GP Online and Prescription Service.
  • Your Care Wellbeing package.
  • Lifestyle benefits (discount platform).
