We are seeking to appoint an outstanding practitioner to work collaboratively with, and in support of, the Senior Leadership Team, the Pastoral team and teaching and support staff. The successful candidate will provide comprehensive care, support and guidance for staff and pupils, to ensure that our pupils are safe, happy, regulated and attending education and that staff have the necessary skills and training to ensure that this happens.
