Golborne High School is entering an exciting new phase in the development of its SEND, inclusion and pastoral provision.  As we continue to expand and strengthen our support for pupils, we are creating new opportunities for talented professionals who share our belief that every child deserves to feel a strong sense of belonging, achieve their potential and thrive within an ambitious mainstream school community.

Our vision is rooted in inclusive practice, ensuring that barriers to learning, participation and wellbeing are identified early and addressed through high-quality support, adaptive teaching and strong pastoral care.  We are investing in our workforce so that colleagues can play a central role in shaping a provision that is ambitious, nurturing and responsive to the needs of all learners.

Supporting all pupils to aim high is at the heart of everything we do.  Staff benefit from a rich programme of professional development, including access to NPQs, leadership pathways and specialist SEND and inclusion development programmes.  Whether you are looking to build expertise, lead innovation or progress into wider leadership, Golborne provides an environment where colleagues can grow professionally while making a genuine difference to young people’s lives.

With a new school building on the horizon and a growing commitment to inclusive education, this is a pivotal and exciting time to join Golborne High School and help shape the future of a school where ambition, belonging and opportunity are for everyone.

This is an excellent opportunity to support students' health, wellbeing and access to learning. Based within iClass, the successful candidate will provide medical support for pupils with health needs, administer medication, and ensure students are fully supported to participate in all aspects of school life; including lessons, educational visits and physical education activities.

We are seeking a highly organised and professional individual with excellent communication and administrative skills to join our team. The successful candidate will hold GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths, a relevant first aid qualification, and be confident in using Microsoft Office applications. You will have experience of working in a busy environment and be able to respond effectively to changing priorities. The ideal candidate will be proactive, reliable and detail-oriented, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively, maintain confidentiality, build positive relationships, and demonstrate a genuine understanding of and commitment to supporting the needs of young people.
