We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and operationally skilled leader to manage our pastoral intervention programmes.  The role will be based in our onsite inclusion provision (Orchard Centre) and our onsite emotional based non-attender provision (The Nest).

A successful candidate will be able to manage and lead a team focused on high expectations whilst providing valuable care and support to students, ensuring their wellbeing and educational needs are met whilst using strategies to support positive behaviour.   

The role involves co-ordination with the whole school pastoral team to identify students who require additional support and implementing appropriate interventions. Therefore, we are looking for a candidate with drive and excellent communication skills linked to stakeholder involvement, behaviour management and conflict resolution and restorative conversations.

Operational leadership for the day to day running of both provisions is also a key aspect of the role, along with data analysis to support targeted and successful interventions and collaborative working. Building strong relationships with Pastoral colleagues, Alternative Provision Providers and our Senior Leader for Alternative Pathways will also form an integral part of the role.

The ideal candidate will therefore be dynamic and forward-thinking with a passion to support students and allow all to reach their full potential and shine brightly.

For further information about the role and the Inclusion Department or to organise a visit to the school please contact Harry Bruce on HBruce@rushcliffespencer.org.uk. For more general HR queries please contact HR@rushcliffespencer.org.uk
