Pastoral Support Worker

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Pastoral Support Worker to join our safeguarding team. This is a pivotal role for an individual who is passionate about student wellbeing and committed to ensuring that all young people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. You will play a key part in maintaining a strong safeguarding culture across the school, acting swiftly and effectively in response to concerns and working in line with statutory safeguarding guidance and school policies. You will ensure that all actions are timely, appropriate, and thoroughly recorded whilst working closely with colleagues and external agencies where necessary, maintaining a child-centred approach at all times. You will also provide both targeted and responsive support to students identified as vulnerable or at risk, particularly those experiencing emotional, social, or mental health challenges. This includes working with students on pastoral support interventions, building positive relationships
with them and their families, and helping them to develop strategies to manage their wellbeing to enable them to thrive and fulfil their potential.

Collaboration is central to this role. You will work closely with Heads of Learning, Assistant Heads of Learning, the SENCo, and the wider Inclusion Team to identify students in need of support and to coordinate effective interventions. You will also take responsibility for overseeing the delivery of targeted programmes, such as e-safety and wellbeing interventions, ensuring their impact is carefully monitored and evaluated to support continuous improvement. Your role will require a high level of professionalism, discretion, and the ability to make sound judgements in sensitive situations.
