Are you passionate about inclusion and committed to meeting the needs of all children?

Do you have the ability to engage, motivate and promote the learning and personal development of pupils?

The Governors of Joseph Norton Academy would like to invite applications from enthusiastic, hard-working, team players for the position of Pastoral Welfare Leader. As part of our school’s Pastoral Team, you will play a key role in creating a stimulating, safe and happy environment in which our pupils can thrive. You will have experience of working with vulnerable children and the ability to support our pupils and their families to overcome barriers to learning in a multi-agency setting. At school you will be a key support for both pupils and staff, leading areas such as attendance, pupil welfare and the school’s learning support or ‘on call’ system. 

We are looking for a team-player with presence, passion and a commitment to inclusion with the ability to work creatively for the benefit of pupils at our school. In return you will have the opportunity to work with great colleagues as part of a supportive team and the ability to develop your career in our specialist setting.

At Wellspring Academy Trust we believe that every school is unique, because it has a unique history, it serves a unique community context and is full of unique individuals. We value and celebrate the unique identities of our Academies. We encourage them to innovate, create and develop their uniqueness because we want others to learn from them. Excellence is about diversity, not conformity. We do not believe that one size fits all.

Joseph Norton Academy:

At Joseph Norton we believe that every child deserves the best possible education to enable them to make good progress and achieve their full potential. We are a child-centred and values-driven. As a team, we want every child to leave us having developed a love of learning and the skills and self-confidence needed to help them succeed in post-school life. We aim to build partnerships with parents, carers and children that are based on honesty, trust and mutual respect with the purpose of supporting the academic, vocational, personal and emotional development of our pupils.
