Overview
Initially, in the summer term you will play a vital role in supporting Year 6 transition, to prepare students for the start of their education with us when they join in September, as well as building a strong foundation for future relationships throughout their time at Rugeley John Taylor School. In addition you will be required to support the wider team in helping identify and reducing the barriers to attendance for existing students.
Responsibilities
* Direct work with students and parents addressing safeguarding, behaviour, mental health, and provision of special educational needs. The successful candidate does not need to be an expert in these fields, but must demonstrate an interest in learning about them and a determination to ensure every young person has access to provision which meets their unique needs.
* Excellent standards of organisation and prioritisation; ability to work in a calm and orderly manner; resilience and adaptability to respond to immediate needs of a young person, their family, or colleagues.
About the Trust and School
We have a passion for excellence demonstrated by a broad curriculum and high-quality leadership. We work hard to create collaboration across the Trust, and the Central Team reside in one of our schools, to remain grounded in school life. We have a strong track record of governance and health and safety, and our schools and Trust enjoy a healthy and stable financial position; we look to the future with anticipation of further growth and to support those schools already in our family by working together and adding value.
School Context
Rugeley John Taylor School, part of John Taylor MAT, is proud to be growing the only 'all-through' school within our Trust family. Having opened our doors to our first cohort, we are continuing to build a school that will serve local communities from the earliest years right through to Sixth Form, offering a 'gold standard' learning experience. As we expand, we continue to embed the core features of John Taylor MAT that have become a hallmark of its success.
Role Profile
We\'re looking for a talented individual to help foster a positive and supportive learning environment for our young people. Your experience of pastoral care will place our students\' welfare at the heart of our school. With a further cohort of students joining us in September, this is a vital, high-profile role, and the post-holder will be required to work with colleagues across the school as well as from external agencies.
