What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking an empathetic and diligent Student Wellbeing Officer, who will work with the Pastoral Team, identifying barriers to learning and engagement of vulnerable children, leading and supporting individual plans to ensure improvement, in particular to diminish the difference in attendance between the Disadvantaged cohort and other students.

- The ability to maintain a calm and focused environment
- The ability to intervene and evaluate the progress of students who disrupt learning
- Knowledge of school/education provision
- Recent experience in a school or other organisation working with young people
- A commitment to Continuing Professional Development

- Excellent Continued Professional Development opportunities
- A dedicated staff team supported by a committed and experienced Senior Leadership Team
- A positive environment where students are able to learn and achieve
