I am delighted that you have expressed an interest in working at St Wilfrid's Church of England Academy. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Pastoral Manager to work alongside our highly skilled and committed pastoral staff within the Academy. Specifically, you will act as our non-teaching safeguarding lead.

The successful candidate will have a good understanding of the statutory guidance for safeguarding children and the specific issues and challenges faced by those who require additional support. They will be familiar with the external support students and their families can draw upon to access appropriate intervention. They will attend meetings which focus on the well-being of students, develop and implement personal education plans and champion our most vulnerable or disadvantaged students. You must be able to listen, prioritise needs and forge collaborative working relationships with students, their carers and professional colleagues.

It is essential that the appointed candidate is focused, resilient, adaptable and able to work effectively as part of a wider team. They must be meticulous in their processes as they record and share sensitive information about students. They will need to be digitally literate and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

This post would only be suitable for an experienced candidate who has worked within a school, social care or community support setting in safeguarding.

If you were to be successful in your application, you would be joining an Academy which strives for excellence. We benefit from purpose-built accommodation with excellent facilities. All in all, it is a wonderful place to work, learn and worship. Our vision is 'Lord Direct us to Live Life to the Full', rooted in John 10:10. Whilst Learning, we are Inspired and develop our Values through Experiences as each member flourishes. We aim to raise aspirations, realise potential and develop well-rounded successful staff and young people.

The Academy is committed to safeguarding the welfare of its students and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate check, checks of the relevant barred/prohibition lists and also a right to work check.

If you believe that you can make a difference and improve the self-esteem, independence, and confidence of some of our more vulnerable learners then I would warmly welcome your application.

This is a Fixed-Term contract of 1 year to cover the maternity leave of the postholder.

Please submit the Support Staff application form, which can be downloaded from the Academy website along with a letter of application of not more than two A4 sides, detailing how your experiences to date qualify you for the post. These should be sent to Mrs K Nightingale, PA to the Principal, via

The closing date for the receipt of applications is 9am on Monday 3rd June 2024. I look forward to receiving your application.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs V Michael

Principal
