We are looking to appoint a dedicated and caring Pastoral Support Officer (PSO) to join our existing team as soon as possible.
Our PSOs provide highly valued support, addressing the needs of students who require help overcoming barriers to learning in order to achieve their full potential. The role is predominantly education based but also has a wider remit, including working with families and other agencies to promote engagement and intervention at the earliest opportunity.
Duties include:
* Acting as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead and ensuring safeguarding is rigorous and meticulous.
* Carrying out 'on call' duties to assist colleagues with behaviour management.
* Providing differentiated levels of support to pupils with behavioural issues, including those with special needs.
The postholder must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to establish productive relationships with pupils, families and other professionals.
You will:
* have a calm and positive approach.
* be able to sensitively understand the needs of children and their families.
* have the ability to use initiative and apply effective problem solving skills.
* be able to work independently with individuals, small groups or a whole class as needed.
This is an exciting time to join a dedicated staff team in our Ofsted rated GOOD school. You will play an integral part in working towards our whole school priorities:
* to raise attainment of all students, including disadvantaged students, in all year groups.
* to promote and enhance the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all members of our community.
In return, the role offers a friendly and supportive working environment with excellent opportunities for training and development.
