About this Role

This is a pivotal role at the heart of the College's pastoral and safeguarding work, supporting children, families and external agencies to ensure that every young person feels safe, is in school and is able to thrive.

Working closely with the Designated Safeguarding Lead, the Attendance Officer and the wider pastoral team, you will be a visible, approachable and trusted presence in school. You will manage a safe and welcoming space where pupils can seek support and guidance, and you will play a key role in helping pupils overcome barriers to attendance, engagement and wellbeing.

The successful candidate will build strong, professional relationships with pupils, parents, carers and external agencies — including children's social care, CAMHS, the Local Authority, school nursing, the police and local community partners — fostering collaboration to create a supportive network around each young person. You will contribute to safeguarding casework, support attendance improvement, deliver targeted pastoral interventions and help families navigate the wider systems of support available to them.

Excellent communication, organisation and record-keeping skills are essential. You will need to be confident using ICT to maintain accurate, timely safeguarding and pastoral records, liaise with colleagues and external partners, and produce clear written reports.

We are looking for someone who is empathetic, approachable and passionate about supporting young people and their families. Experience in safeguarding, attendance, family support, youth work, social care or a similar pastoral setting is highly desirable, but we also welcome applications from individuals with transferable skills and a strong commitment to children's welfare. Training and development opportunities, including safeguarding training, will be provided to the successful candidate.

If you are enthusiastic about making a meaningful, lasting impact on young people's lives, we would love to hear from you.
