Grays, Thurrock, United Kingdom Orsett Heath Academy Full time

As the new Orsett Heath Academy continues to grow, we are looking to recruit and appoint an efficient and organised Pastoral Support Team Member to join our friendly and supportive team.

You will need to establish and maintain productive working relationships with vulnerable pupils, offering key pastoral support and acting as a role model and mentor.

As a member of the Pastoral Support Team, you will:

· Support the work of senior staff in managing incidents of discrimination, bullying and peer on peer abuse.

· Develop constructive and supportive relationships with the families of vulnerable pupils.

· Be responsible for ensuring that pupil safeguarding records are accurate and up to date.

· Develop and implement an intervention programme of activities to address mental health and wellbeing, and social and emotional needs of individuals and small groups

· Provide appropriate support and response in relation to safeguarding disclosures from pupils.

The role is a challenging and fulfilling one and will build upon the strong foundations set up by our existing pastoral team.

Why Orsett Heath Academy?

Orsett Heath is a relatively new thriving mixed 11-16 comprehensive school. As a new school, we opened our doors to welcome our first pupils in 2020. Since then, the school has proved popular with parents and pupils and we are oversubscribed in all three current year groups. We have created a successful school that pupils and staff are incredibly proud of.

In the summer of 2024, we move into our new £37m school building adjacent to our current purpose-built accommodation at Thurrock Rugby Club. When full, the new building will have 1200 pupils and be amongst the largest in Thurrock. We are looking for highly motivated, talented and ambitious staff who share our inclusive ethos and who want to help us grow over the coming years.

Why SWECET?

At South West Essex Community Education Trust, we are passionate about providing the best start in life for our pupils. We are united in the belief that every young person needs and deserves an education that will maximise their future life chances.

We place our pupils' needs at the heart of everything we do and support our colleagues in delivering high-quality education. Our vision is to establish a national reputation for the quality of education we provide.

Our academies are united by the things that make us both similar and unique – the DNA that ties us all together. The SWECET DNA is made up of the following components: Developing our people, Nurturing our differences, and Aspiring for excellence.

We believe that our colleagues are our most precious resource to provide high-quality learning experiences for all our pupils. Our colleagues work hard to support teams in their own schools and across the Trust and in return, the SWECET Wellbeing Charter sets out our actions to support our colleagues.

If you have energy and passion in abundance and would relish the opportunity to be part of our team, we look forward to hearing from you. Visits from prospective candidates are warmly welcomed and encouraged. To arrange a visit, please email
