About the Role

At The Burgate School and Sixth Form, our vision is for every child to feel valued for who they are. We are proud of our inclusive and respectful learning environment, where every student is valued as an individual.

The Hub is a supportive provision within our school which plays a key role in fostering student wellbeing and engagement across the school. The Hub embodies our ethos, offering a safe, structured, and supportive space for students who may require additional support to access their learning and thrive both academically and personally. In The Hub, there are two main areas of support offered which will be led, facilitated and reviewed by the Pastoral Manager. These are Academic support, which focuses on curriculum catch-up and subject confidence and The Bridge support, which focuses on emotional regulation, return-to-learning plans, and reintegration after prolonged absence. These two provisions are fundamentally put in place to support good attendance and engagement in school.

The Hub is a multi-use provision which also supports with targeted SEND provision and the whole school literacy strategy.

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, compassionate and proactive Pastoral Manager to lead The Hub. This role is ideal for someone who shares our commitment to supporting the whole child, nurturing both academic progress and emotional wellbeing. The successful candidate will start in school, building relationships with students who struggle to engage with school and learning and lead on the daily running of The Hub. They will be expected to develop strong, trusting relationships with students whilst maintaining high expectations in behaviour and learning. The role of the Pastoral Manager extends beyond the child in school and, where appropriate, they will be expected to meet with parents and families to support them to identify and overcome barriers to engagement.

This is an exciting new opportunity at The Burgate School which, for the right candidate, has potential to grow and develop a team.

We’re looking for someone who will:

• Be committed to supporting all students to achieve their potential.
• Lead with integrity and empathy, always putting students’ wellbeing at the heart of their practice.
• Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build partnerships with students, staff, and families.
• Be reflective, resilient and solution-focused in managing challenging situations.
• Hold strong literacy and numeracy skills (equivalent to GCSE Grade C/4 or above in English and Maths)
• Share our vision for all our students to enjoy their learning and feel valued for who they are.

In return, we offer:

• A supportive school community with friendly, enthusiastic and caring colleagues
• A commitment to professional development to support your individual career
• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
• Electric vehicle charging points
• A cycle to work scheme
• A school with fantastic grounds on the edge of the New Forest

If you're passionate about supporting a vibrant school community and making a positive impact every day, we’d love to hear from you!
