Our unique position as a generic special school means we are able to have a long-term and lasting impact on the children in our care. We are a positive regard school, and staff use this expert knowledge in their daily work. This approach works hand in hand with a nurturing curriculum to give our students secure foundations rooted in developing communication and independence skills . Working at Green Meadows offers challenge and reward in equal measures, as we work together to support pupils to make excellent academic and personal progress so they can achieve their goals and aspirations.
The Post
We are excited to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking Pastoral Welfare Leader to join our team at Green Meadows Academy, a specialist SEN setting. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of our vision for outstanding pastoral care, working closely with the Pastoral Lead and Leadership Team to ensure the welfare, emotional growth, and positive behaviour of our students.
As a key member of our team, you will implement innovative strategies to foster a nurturing, inclusive, and safe environment across a busy multi-site setting. Your energy, creativity, and commitment will empower young people to overcome challenges and reach their full potential, all while upholding the school’s vision, policies, and procedures.
If you are passionate about transforming the lives of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and are ready to make a meaningful impact, we would love to hear from you!
About Us
Our aim is to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with special educational needs. Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of what we do and we are creating an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm and believes that all its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed. We take pride in creating individual and personalised pathways for our students that are built around their varied needs, which will help them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for adulthood.
We see strong relationships as the key to our success – with students, parents, carers and the wider community and we ensure that our academy is a welcoming safe place for children, and staff, to learn and prosper. We believe in working closely with our families and carers and welcome their support, but also realise that at times they will need our support too. We work closely with other agencies and schools to make sure we do all we can to make learning and life the best it possibly can be.
Here at Green Meadows, we place a huge emphasis on professional development and choose to invest significantly in staff training at all levels. This means that, although experience of working in an SEND setting would be an advantage, specialist support and training will be provided for outstanding teachers wishing to make the career fulfilling move into special education.
