Fixed Term Contract, 32.5 hours per week, term time only

Working alongside the Pastoral Managers to support pupils with specific pastoral needs. The pastoral assistant will have the main role of checking on classroom environments and increasing a positive ethos. Rather than working in the Pupil Support Unit, they will be proactive in the main school building, assisting with behaviour management and using the online lesson monitoring tool to intervene with pupils who may need support in engaging with the lesson. They will be directed by the Deputy Headteacher to cover lessons when staff are absent and so that the high standard of teaching remains consistent.

This role has only been part of Woodfield for two terms and requires a forward thinking practitioner who has the passion to improve the educational experience for pupils who may demonstrate low level behaviour. The role will be an integral part of the pastoral team and to work closely with the Pastoral Managers to provide high quality care and support for children with a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties. The pastoral assistant will need to support the teaching staff in the preparation and delivery of a creative and nurturing curriculum, implementing effective support strategies and liaising with the Assistant Headteacher. The ultimate aim is to raise standards, enabling pupils to meet and exceed their academic and personal targets.
