Are you passionate about making a difference to children’s lives?

Are you looking for a role that prioritises students to provide them with routines and structures that will enable them to thrive?

Ernulf Academy is an 11-16 comprehensive academy which is really on the move. Based in St.Neots in Cambridgeshire, Ernulf Academy has an increasing roll with over 700 students. As a truly comprehensive and inclusive academy, the school is proud of its place within the local community. This is reflected in our approach to all areas of our work. From supporting students preparing for Oxbridge through to working with the most vulnerable Ernulf Academy embraces everyone. 

The role:

A Pastoral Support Officer will assist the Head of Year with the effective running of the pastoral system for an identified year group and to assist with wider pastoral functions as directed. In particular, working in the areas of behaviour, attendance, parent liaison and administration.

We are looking for:

• A committed and reliable member of our pastoral support team
• Have a ‘can do’ attitude and be prepared to help out the rest of the team in a willing and positive manner
• Experience of working with young people
• Experience of working in a school setting is desirable

We offer:

• A unique and inspirational environment to work in
• A committed and motivated team with the school and local community at their heart
• A professional and collaborative school with a commitment to continued professional development
• The opportunity to join a strong staff team, where our values are integral to all we do 

In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of our children.

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
