Pastoral Outreach Worker Family Support

We are looking to appoint a highly effective, passionate and experienced pastoral outreach worker.  The successful candidate will have a proven track record of delivering intervention to families and young people so they are able to engage successfully with school and the community. 

We believe working together with parents and carers is key to a young person’s success, building strong attachments and self-confidence. The bridge between home and school and a strong team around a young person is the key to them being able to overcome life’s challenges, allowing them achieve and move on.

You will be able to motivate and engage students and parents, building trusted relationships.  Raise student’s aspiration in order to provide them with best opportunities and outcomes. You will work with curriculum tutors and the College pastoral support team to support our inclusion and hub provision, working directly with young people to bring about positive change.

We are looking to recruit at Riverside and Fernbrook College where you will become part of a dynamic and supportive staff team.  We have transformed the curriculum with an emphasis on high expectations in the classroom, pastoral support and targeted intervention for students.  We want to develop our parenting programs and offer, to work with parents on anxiety, routines, boundaries and finding a balance so their child can grow and thrive as independent and responsible individuals.  Each pastoral outreach worker has a key area of responsibility.  We are particularly keen to appoint candidates with knowledge and experience in parenting and family support, early help and SEND.
