Job description
KS3/4 Pastoral Officer – Bury
FULL TIME, UNTIL JULY 2023 – STARTING IMMEDIATELY
Prospero Teaching is looking for a Pastoral Officer to join one of our SEMH Schools in Bury. This school is a specialist provision for young people who need that little extra support and guidance. Students at this school can pose challenges but staff who are calm, patient, resilient and caring will make huge differences in this setting.
We have worked with this Headteacher for several years now and they have a particular interest in securing the services of an enthusiastic graduate for this particular position. There is lots of training available for the successful position and our SLT run regular CPD for all staff. This role would be ideal for someone considering teacher training for September 2023. The role of a Pastoral Officer is much more “all encompassing” and you will provide some academic support, some 1:1 mentoring, and some “crisis intervention” to support students who need intervention. This is a full time role and will run until July 2023.
Standards are high and the young people in the school are supported from day one with a uniform approach by teachers and support staff, and a calm, positive environment is noticed from the moment you enter the school. Classrooms are well equipped after a full refurbishment during the last six months.
