THE ROLE

Required from November 2021, the school is seeking to recruit a Guidance Leader to work with the Head of Year, the SENCO and leadership team to co-ordinate the best possible educational experience for particular cohorts of students, namely a House (including students from Year 7 to Year 11). You will support and liaise with teachers; you will work closely with external bodies such as social services and the education welfare service; you will arrange and attend parents’ evenings, safeguarding meetings and other parental meetings; you will support in the organisation of house group events; and will be the first point of call for all pastoral issues relating to students in your house.

You will have experience of supporting students with significant difficulties in behaviour and/or with mental health difficulties. You will have the ability to mentor children or young people to support their wellbeing and/or social emotional and mental health needs. You will have good organisational, interpersonal and communication skills (both oral and written) and be confident in public speaking in front of large numbers of students.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the DBS.
