Job overview
Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Do you value the importance of education and want to make a difference to the life chances of young people? If so this role, encompassing administration with pastoral support could be just what you are looking for.
We are an 11-18 Academy with just over 1,000 students on roll. Last September we reorganised our pastoral system into 4 ‘smaller schools’ (houses), to further strengthen the pastoral support and relationships between child, family and school to help ensure our students are safe, happy and achieve well. As a School Co-ordinator you will be part of a strong pastoral team working with two of our ‘smaller’ schools, playing a key role in working with and supporting our students and their families. This is an exciting role, which is varied in nature and full of fulfilment for the right person. The role is open to existing teachers or non-teachers. The current post-holder who is not a teacher, is moving on due to relocation, but has successfully secured a promotion to Head of Year
So, if you are someone who:
• is passionate about working with young people and the importance of education
• has excellent communication skills for working with young people and adults alike
• is dynamic and organised with good attention to detail
• has good administration, interpersonal and ICT skills and wants to use them for the benefit of young people
then we would love to hear from you.
We are a Good (Ofsted) school with superb staff and students. Our staff are our most valuable asset and we will offer the successful candidate a hugely exciting opportunity to make a real difference to our students and be part of a valued team. We have an excellent bespoke programme of training development so experience of working in schools is not essential.
The deadline for applications is 9am on Thursday 2 December 2021, with interviews being held on Tuesday 7 December. The Misbourne reserves the right to close and shortlist early, therefore early applications are encouraged.

The Misbourne is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. An offer of appointment is subject to satisfactory references, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) Enhanced Disclosure and medical clearance. No agencies please.

About The Misbourne
As Headteacher it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the trustees, staff and students to welcome you to The Misbourne. Thank you for showing an interest in working with us.
This is a good school where every student really does matter and where our team of professional and passionate staff works hard to instil the belief in each of them that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We believe that there are three things that are important to working in a school. Firstly, the students. We are fortunate to have polite and respectful students with well-supported families who want to work hard and do well but for some, lack the self-belief to really achieve their full potential. Secondly, a supportive staff body and investment in continued professional development. Staff are happy to work here and are very rightly proud of their school. They are supported by a comprehensive training programme that takes into account individual roles as well as career progression and aspirations. We are linked to two teaching schools and take a lead role in delivering training sessions for trainees from across Buckinghamshire.
Thirdly, our facilities. We are fortunate to have excellent facilities across the curriculum including a new building for the Sixth Form, English department and school café; extensive playing fields; three new IT suites and brand-new multi-million pound sports centre including dance space and fitness suite (free to use for staff). We have recently transitioned to Google in preparation for Year 7 commencing blended learning using chromebooks from September 2023.We believe that there are no barriers to learning that cannot be overcome. We strive for educational excellence in every lesson, every day, through a climate of high expectations, which are actively promoted in all aspects of school life. The Misbourne provides a learning environment that allows all students to flourish through mutual respect, kindness and a strong desire to achieve.
Through inspiring teaching; excellent pastoral care and strong partnerships with families and the wider community, our students leave us with the qualifications, skills and values needed to lead happy and successful lives and we are looking for similarly dedicated and inspirational colleagues to join us.
This is such an exciting time for the school and we welcome applications from prospective employees who share our vision, values and aspirations for students.
If you would like to visit us and see for yourself, I would encourage you to make arrangements for a tour via the school office admin@themisbourne.co.uk. Staff and students are exceptionally proud of our school and we would love to show you around.
