- Strong values rooted in care, respect, and personal responsibility
- Clear behaviour systems and a strong focus on student wellbeing
- A supportive leadership team with a well‑developed pastoral structure
- Committed to inclusion, high expectations, and positive outcomes for all learners
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working in a pastoral, behaviour, SEN, or alternative provision role
- Qualified teacher or experienced unqualified teacher with strong pastoral expertise
- A calm, resilient, and empathetic approach
- Genuine passion for pastoral support and student wellbeing (essential)
- Strong behaviour management and relationship‑building skills
- Ability to work collaboratively within a pastoral and SEN framework
