PASTORAL MANAGER VACANCY – JOB SHARE OPPORTUNITY

St John’s Catholic Comprehensive School is seeking to recruit an experienced, hardworking, and proactive practitioner for the role of Pastoral Manager, who will be assigned to an individual Year Group (Year 8). This opportunity is a job share role, working collaboratively with our current, highly experienced Year 8 Pastoral Manager (whose working pattern is 8am to 4pm Monday to Wednesday). The successful candidate will be responsible for managing student welfare and behaviour, whilst promoting a sense of personal excellence in our students.

Our new Pastoral Manager will need to be a confident, professional and approachable communicator, as he/she will be liaising with external and internal stakeholders; including staff, students, parents/carers and the wider community. The successful applicant should have good time management skills, be able to meet deadlines, be empathetic, as well as having a flexible approach to work as priorities could change at short notice. Excellent organisation and teamwork skills are vital to ensure a unified and successful job share partnership.

StJohn's is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to satisfactory references, a social media check and an Enhanced DBS check. This role includes specific safeguarding responsibilities, as defined in the accompanying job description. Our school’s dedicated Child Protection Policy can be viewed here:

What the school offers its staff

St John’s is a very successful co-ed Catholic school with over 1300 students including c.300 in our Sixth Form. We have a very strong Catholic ethos and pride ourselves in being a warm and welcoming community, something that was externally recognised in our most recent Section 48 Inspection of January 2020, where we achieved ‘Outstanding Catholic School’ status. The school’s 2023 Progress 8 score of +0.33 was the sixth consecutive examination year that the school achieved a positive score on this key performance measure and a wonderful reflection of the talented and dedicated students and staff we have at the school. We are also projected to receive a positive Progress 8 score for 2024 (Progress 8 outcomes will be released by the government later this month).

This is an excellent and exciting time to join our thriving Catholic community and be part of a highly enthusiastic, forward thinking and supportive team.
