In addition we offer the Duke of Edinburgh Award, an Extended Project Qualification and student leadership positions. Preparation for employment is an integral part of everything we do at The Misbourne and we are proud to be a Careers Hub Lead School, and as such have outstanding careers provision.
Are you:
Passionate about working with young people and the importance of education?
Able to relate to young people and support them to become independent, ambitious learners?
Dynamic and organised, with good attention to detail?
Someone with good communication, interpersonal and IT skills?
Passionate about reading, for education and for lifelong learning?
Possibly thinking about a career in teaching?
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who may be considering a career in supporting academic and pastoral progress.

Training will be provided so no prior experience is necessary within a school setting although this would be advantageous.
Your main responsibility will be to work with and support our sixth form students tracking and monitoring academic progress as well as providing advice and guidance. A key part of your role will be supervising students in our sixth form study centre ensuring that students work silently and purposefully, whilst liaising with curriculum leaders and subject teachers to access additional study materials where necessary or to seek clarification on activities that have been set. You will be implementing relevant interventions as per the Sixth Form policy in order for students to overcome barriers to learning and utilising available resources as necessary.
You will demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence, being able to operate as a supportive mentor whilst also helping to ensure that students meet our high expectations. As part of this there will need to be strong relationships built with the families to ensure the student is fully supported.
There will be essential administrative duties to support the 6th Form team and the Attendance Officer. Effective and proactive communication is needed with students and their parents.
