Pastoral Support Assistant

Louth Academy is a co-educational comprehensive serving Louth and the surrounding area with approximately 850 students across two sites.   Recently judged Good by Ofsted (February 2022), our ethos focuses on delivering a first class education while raising aspirations and outcomes of all learners. 

Louth Academy benefits from being part of the Tollbar Family of Academies.  Ever growing in Academies and opportunities, the Trust has a strong track record in turning round failing schools demonstrated by the successful outcomes at a number of our Academies.  We are looking for enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated individuals to join a Family of Academies with a proven track record of career progression and staff development.  Continued Professional Development is central to our philosophy of improvement throughout our Academies.  Staff from across the Trust regularly share outstanding practice and develop resources to ensure all students receive a world class education.

We are currently seeking to recruit a versatile Pastoral Support Assistant to join our supportive team of staff.

This role entails working with pastoral leaders and senior staff to assist with the provision of comprehensive pastoral support within the Academy. The post-holder will undertake a variety of duties, which will include, but not be limited to the following areas:

• Tracking student attendance

• Student home visits

• Undertaking welfare checks

• Providing safeguarding support

• Providing basic pastoral support

Previous experience of working within a professional capacity or within safeguarding is desirable.

This is unique opportunity to join a progressive team with an unrelenting desire to offer an aspirational education to all of our students. 

Whilst experience of working with young people in some capacity is preferred, full training will be provided in-house. Candidates must have a minimum of GCSE Grade C or equivalent in Mathematics and English.

We always receive a large number of applications for our advertised posts, and therefore, we cannot provide individual feedback on applications. If you do not hear from us within two weeks of the closing date for this role, your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

Due to the needs of the Academy, interviews may be held before the closing date for applications.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. As part of this process, all successful applicants are required to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
