Hours: Permanent, Full time
Required for January 2019
An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen as Head of Pastoral Care for Years 10 & 11 at Westfield Academy. This is a role, with no teaching commitment, that is pivotal in the schools desire to provide outstanding pastoral care. The successful applicant will initially be responsible for the pastoral care for both years 10 & 11 whilst the current postholder is on maternity leave. On her return, due to our rising school roll, the post will be split and each postholder will be responsible for the pastoral care of either year 10 or 11. You will work closely with the Academic Head of Year 10 and the Academic Head of Year 11 to support the learning of vulnerable and challenging students.
You will have experience of working with children who have social emotional and behavioural needs, and you will have good administrative skills and be a team player. This post would equally suit either an ex teacher or non teacher.
This post is full time and permanent.
