Parent Support Advisor - Temporary until 31st August 2027 job summary

St Joseph's Catholic Academy is looking to appoint a temporary Parent Support Advisor until 31st August 2027. As a Parent Support Advisor, you will play a key role in strengthening the partnership between home and school, helping families to overcome challenges that may affect their child’s learning, wellbeing, or attendance. This role is ideal for someone who is empathetic, approachable, and passionate about supporting children and their families.

You will work closely with parents and carers to provide guidance, practical support, and early intervention strategies.
