Student Welfare Officer

Montsaye Academy is an ambitious and high achieving Secondary Academy judged to be ‘GOOD’ by OFSTED on their visit in January 2019.

We require a Student Welfare Officer to work as part of our student support team providing high quality care and guidance and support for families and for children experiencing behaviour and emotional difficulties.

The Academy is located in the historic Northamptonshire market town of Rothwell, easily reached from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and Bedfordshire.

Montsaye Academy is a vibrant and active community where learning and achievement, in their widest sense are viewed as the core purpose of our work.  It is also a caring and supportive environment in which children can become adults, unafraid to make mistakes, flexible enough to overcome obstacles and ambitious enough not to be extraordinary not average. Our values of Excellence, Resilience and Aspiration are firmly embedded and are at the heart of everything we do at Montsaye Academy.

The academy is a member of the Pathfinder Schools Multi-Academy Trust and collaborates closely with the Trust Central Team and its eight other schools.

The academy has developed very effective partnerships with other local secondary schools which enhances our curriculum and supports our practice.

We are fortunate to support the learning of nearly 1000 students aged between the ages of 11-18, including a vibrant Sixth Form.

Our students join us from Rothwell and Desborough and a number of neighbouring villages and towns.

We employ just over 200 staff, including 70 Teachers and Leaders and 140 Support Staff who enable our academy and pupils to thrive.

Our on-site facilities include:

• An on-site Community Sports Centre with a Sports Hall, Swimming Pool, Fitness Suite, Dance Studio, a full-size 3rd Generation Rubber Crumb all weather pitch, grass football pitches and multi-use games areas.

• Staff room and Faculty bases

• Newly renovated state of the art Science Laboratories

• Dedicated Sixth-Form Centre

• On-site staff parking

Being part of Pathfinder Schools offers a fantastic opportunity to develop yourself, as a Trust we actively encourage collaboration and the sharing of good practice; we believe that by developing a love of learning and having the highest expectations, all members of the Pathfinder Schools community can achieve and inspire greatness.

We occasionally close vacancies early in the event that we receive a high volume of applications. Interviews may begin soon after receipt of applications for shortlisted candidates, therefore we recommend that you apply early.
