Are you passionate about empowering young people to overcome challenges and reach their full potential? We are looking for a dynamic and dedicated Pupil Support Centre Lead to make a difference in the lives of students who need extra support accessing education.
In this role, you'll work with individuals and small groups in our calm and welcoming Pupil Support Centre. Your mission will be to nurture and guide vulnerable pupils, helping them achieve their academic goals in a supportive environment. You will oversee and coordinate the PSC, ensuring it functions as an effective inclusion tool within our school. Key responsibilities include developing and implementing individualised plans for reintegration into mainstream classes, collaborating closely with teaching and support staff, and contributing to a friendly and committed team. We seek an enthusiastic and imaginative individual who is dedicated to helping all our pupils thrive.
You will join a supportive team of teaching and non-teaching staff, who work together to help our pupils to learn and enjoy school. If you have the motivation and skills to make a real impact, we want to hear from you! Apply now to join our community and help shape the future of our pupils.
Visitors tell us that our school is a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ heritage, cultures, religion and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from candidates from racially minoritised backgrounds and from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development. English and literacy make a huge contribution to the life of the school and we are looking for a candidate who will help to extend this work.
Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School is heavily over-subscribed and has around 950 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school completed its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. However, we are not driven by Ofsted and our priorities lie in supporting our pupils to develop their knowledge, skills and character through the ‘Bishop’s 360’ model. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status, the Music Mark and is a Fairtrade School. Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable.
The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff and we give high priority to staff development. Staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.
We take safeguarding of our students extremely seriously and an enhanced disclosure will be sought through the Disclosure and Barring Service as part of the school’s pre-employment checks.
We strongly encourage interested candidates to come and see the PSC in action and to tour our school. If you would like to visit us, prior to making an application, and see for yourself how our pupils learn in a vibrant, supportive environment please contact Sally Fullerton at sfullerton@bishophatfield.herts.sch.uk.
