To work alongside the Provisions Manager, we are seeking to appoint a well organised and committed therapeutic interventions officer.

In addition to supporting the Provisions Manager, the post-holder will contribute to wider interventions across the school, including work related to SEND provision.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young people-especially those who have experienced adversity or vulnerability-to help remove barriers to learning and improve engagement with the curriculum.

We are a friendly and supportive Catholic school with an inclusive ethos. In March 2023, the school received a graded Ofsted inspection and retained "Good" in all areas. Some of the comments from our very positive report are:

"Pupils said they enjoy the strong friendships they build here. The school is welcoming and like a family. Pupils appreciate the supportive staff who push them to go the extra mile in their work. They are safe and happy at school. Staff have high expectations of pupils' work and behaviour, and leaders have clear aspirations for pupils to succeed."

Our latest Catholic School Inspection report (February 2026) graded HFCS as "Outstanding" in every category, commenting that:

"This is an authentic Catholic school at the heart of its community, where the mission is not merely articulated but profoundly lived.

Across year groups, pupils engage purposefully in independent work, showing intellectual curiosity, resilience and a capacity for theological reflection."
