Pastoral Support Officer

We are looking to recruit an outstanding and committed professional to join our highly effective Pastoral team that believes young people deserve the very best quality of education.

As part of a whole school approach to behaviour management, you will support all aspects of the school’s behaviour management primarily through communication with parents and internal support of the Senior Assistant Principal and Assistant Principal for behaviour.

Communication is key to parental engagement which improves the liaison between staff, students and parental stakeholders. It is vital that parents are kept informed of their child’s behaviour through regular contact and also as a responsive measure to prevent escalation. The Pastoral Support Officer will also assist with ensuring whole school behaviour is monitored, supervised and supported.

The pastoral leadership team is friendly and cohesive and works with teachers and other support staff, ‘going the extra mile’ to ensure that we provide the very best for our pupils and families.  It is important to us that you buy-in to and share the ethos and vision of the school. 

We want someone with very high expectations who is passionate about working with young people and is ambitious to see them achieve. You will be a resilient team player with a can-do attitude, will be flexible, organised and able to use your own initiative and problem-solve.
