Pastoral Supervisor job summary
An exciting opportunity is available to join our team as Pastoral Supervisor who will be a key member of staff within our Pastoral Team.
This a permanent role, working 35 hours per week, 39 weeks per year.
Our pastoral team includes a teaching Head of Year for each year group, who work closely alongside tutor teams and colleagues across the school to provide the best pastoral support possible for each and every student. The team also includes our current Pastoral Supervisor, Counsellor, a Student Services office and our SEND team. We fully believe that for students to have the best success academically, they need the right support to ensure they are healthy and happy. Our pastoral structure is deliberately focused on creating a supportive, caring environment, and as a result, we have nurtured thousands of students throughout their school journey to help them in their own journey to becoming young adults.
Personal development is a key priority for us as a school, and we understand that this will look different for every student who joins our school. We are very proud of our students who really do go the extra mile to enrich their time at school. We want our students to develop their character skills of leadership, teamwork, aiming high, problem solving, speaking, listening, creativity and staying positive through engaging in a vast array of extra-curricular activities, leadership positions, outdoor education, house competitions and charity fundraising. The contribution of our students also extends beyond the school community as they are given opportunities to be real advocates for societal change. From day one, each student has a dedicated form tutor who they see every day. Our tutors form strong professional relationships with their tutees, providing consistent pastoral support and advice. All students also belong to a house which becomes a big part of their identity throughout their time at school. We have a long history of House Culture (over 100 years!) and now have five student houses, each with its own name, house colour, mascot and motto! There are regular House events and competitions throughout the academic year, including elections for new sixth form student Heads of Houses, the annual House Charity Week, various sporting competitions, a range of creative competitions and the grand finale, our end of year House Shout, where each house competes for the coveted House Cup to be adorned with ribbons in their house colour. Our exciting range of extra-curricular House activities and events allow students to display their various skills, pursue their own interests, engage in team building and develop peer relationships across the different year groups. Research shows that this sense of belonging to a schoolhouse can help promote well-being, good behaviour, healthy competition and teamwork, which links to our school values of kindness, well-being and collaboration.

Torquay Girls’ Grammar School is a girls’ 11 to 16 selective Single Academy Trust, with a mixed Sixth Form (16 to 18), located in Torquay, Devon.
Our status as a Single Academy Trust means that we have the freedom to implement a curriculum intent which focusses on the whole child: to equip students for a future in which they have the academic qualifications, character skills and self-esteem to make decisions that lead to long, happy and content lives.
Our school is founded on our core values which apply to our whole community: equality, open minded, kindness, collaboration, and well-being.
When Ofsted visited in November 2023, our hard work was recognised by achieving ‘Outstanding’ in every category of the Ofsted Framework. This is no mean feat, and we are incredibly proud of this achievement. Our academic results are consistently high - in the 2025 Sunday Times Schools Guide, we ranked 3rd in Devon and 99th nationally for academic results - which is true testament to the continued dedication from both our students and staff.
Our school is a place where students want to learn and there is a deeply engrained sense of belonging and identity to the school’s history, values and traditions. Staff and pupils fully embrace our House Culture and the opportunities for extra curricular activities and trips.
If you are starting your professional career or are coming with a wealth of experience, you would be joining a school which values every individual within our school community.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
