What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a vibrant and dedicated colleague to join our welfare team. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a well-established and successful safeguarding team working across both our primary and secondary years. As part of your role, you will work closely with our children and young people on their wellbeing, ensuring that they have everything they need to be ready to learn. You should be compassionate, enthusiastic and dedicated to improving the well-being of children and young people. We are also looking for someone who is able to run 1:1 sessions with our children; these sessions will be centred around the child’s well-being. As part of this role, you will be working predominantly with our community, building positive relationships and improving the wellbeing of the children throughout the academy. You will support with early help assessments for families and manage CPOMS throughout the academy day. Experience of running early help assessments and using CPOMS (or equivalent) would be desirable. You will be working closely with external agencies such as social care and will represent the school at various meetings with the various agencies.
The successful candidate will be a nurturing individual who understands the importance of our children being mentally healthy. You will be working closely with vulnerable children and children with SEMH needs. The role will require some behaviour support for children in class where they may not be ready to learn.
The successful candidate needs to be computer literate as there will be administrative duties within the role. Training will be provided in the use of academy information systems. We are looking for someone who may have experience within a setting where proactive support and intervention has been provided for families and young people. The successful applicant will be resilient to change, able to work under pressure and have the ability to make a positive impact on families in challenging circumstances.

United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. The subject specialists, Group-wide intranet, own curriculum, and online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
