If you are passionate about students attaining highly, developing personally and learning to take responsibility for their behaviour, this is the role for you. If you are experienced in working with young people as part of a team, you do not want to miss the opportunity to work in one of the most improved and popular schools in Swindon.
Under the direction of the Assistant Principal – Student Support and working alongside the pastoral team, you will identify and meet the needs of scholars, contributing to more effective learning through improved behaviour, attendance and wellbeing.
This is a full-time role with working hours being 40 hours per week during term time, with a residual 182.5 hours to be worked in holiday periods or as extra hours as required. There is an expectation of flexibility to be able to respond to the needs of our scholars effectively.

You will need to have experience of managing scholars’ behaviour and safeguarding young people. You will be an inspirational role model to all scholars, but particularly for those who may need additional support. You will need to work with identified groups of scholars, with barriers to learning, to improve their life chances, behaviour management and wellbeing.
There is a confidentiality component to this role and the post holder needs to hold the trust and confidence of both staff and scholars.
Experience gained within the education or welfare sector is essential, as you will need to lean on your experience to deliver the requirements of the role. Experience of working with students in a pastoral role is desirable, but not essential.
Understanding the benefit of early intervention, Multi Agency working, Safeguarding and Child Protection are essential and any formal training in CP is highly desirable. Experience of being a lead professional, writing Early Help records and attending TAC meetings would be desirable, but not essential.
The ideal candidate will have passed their GCSE English and Maths at grade C/5 or higher and will have studied to A level or Degree (although this is not essential). ICT skills including Word and Excel is essential, experience of using Arbor/CPOMS or similar systems would be an advantage.

About Nova Hreod Academy
Nova Hreod Academy is well placed in an excellent Location, 1 hour from London, 30 minutes from Bath and 20 minutes to the beautiful Cotswolds. We are lucky enough to have a modern building that was designed with learning and development in mind.
At Nova, we want all our students to flourish academically and personally in an aspirational and supportive environment.

As our students develop these values during their time with us, they move towards adulthood, better prepared to take on the challenges they will face.
Rated as ‘good’ by Ofsted in November 2022, inspectors described Nova as a "friendly and welcoming school." They praised our calm and purposeful learning environment, SuperNova enrichment programme and the fact that "children are able to enjoy a rich and ambitious curriculum."
Ofsted highlighted our “well structured” curriculum and that “pupils in all year groups make good progress across all subjects.” They also recognised the improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, adding that there is “a culture where staff reflect and improve on their practice.”
United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. The subject specialists, Group-wide intranet, own curriculum, and online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing.
