Whether your background is in local authority services, early help, family support, education-based pastoral care, youth work, or a related field, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact, ensuring every child in our school is safe, supported and able to thrive. Our Trust The Mulberry Schools Trust was formed in 2017, when the Board of trustees and the Chief Executive Officer created a family of schools that has at its heart inclusion, equality of opportunity and a striving for educational excellence. Schools as Community Hubs We are committed to supporting young people to overcome the barriers that class, poverty and social exclusion can create, ensuring that all students are able to achieve their full potential. This has inspired us to build up a broad network of partnerships, invigorating student experience, opportunity, drive and success.

• Emphasise high quality subject teaching, reinforced by excellent support for learning and intervention.
• Deliver inclusion services and other programmes that assist personal development.
• Provide excellent pastoral care so no student goes unsupported.
