We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced Pastoral Support Officer to manage the Head of Year office in an effective and efficient manner.  The successful candidate will have a vital role to play in the day-to-day running of the Year Team and consistently implementing its policies and ethos.

This is a hands-on role in which the successful candidate would work predominantly with pupils, parents and staff to ensure the successful running of the Year Team, working very closely with the Head of Year. The College operates a system whereby Year Teams remain with their cohort as they move up through the school, allowing for strong and trusting relationships to be formed with pupils and their families.

Cambourne Village College is an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rated, over-subscribed secondary school, eight miles from Cambridge. We opened as an academy of the Cam Academy Trust in September 2013. Our ethos is aspirational and inclusive, our staff is highly motivated, our pupils courteous and hard-working, and we have excellent facilities. A 350 place sixth form opened in September 2024, with 175 students due to be in each of Years 12 and 13. Joining Cambourne Village College represents a unique opportunity to work in a newly-established school within a wider, high-quality Academy Trust that gives excellent possibilities for professional and career development.
