Head of Behaviour and Pastoral

4 weeks ago

Amble Northumberland, United Kingdom James Calvert Spence College Full time

Be Kind. Work Hard. Aim High

Do you believe every child deserves the very best education? Are you an effective team player with a

positive disposition and a well-developed sense of humour? If so, we have the position for you

We are seeking a leader who will help us drive forward our vision for behaviour and safeguarding. The

Head of Behaviour and Pastoral is a new role: a non-teacher who will form part of the small Executive

Leadership Team at James Calvert Spence College. The post has been developed to build capacity to

our leadership team, and we are seeking a new leader to lead our behavioural culture to the next level

and ensure students are at the heart of every decision and get the best educational experience they

can.

By applying for this role you could join our exciting journey towards developing positive behaviour

across our year 6-13 school. Over the last year we have changed our approach to managing behaviour

by adopting a relational approach. We have had access to a wealth of support from the BeYou,

mental health team, Educational Mental Health Practitioners and other members of the local

authority as one of their pilot schools. Our journey will be showcased in the Northumberland summer

conferences.

We have invested heavily in developing positive behaviours throughout the school. You will manage a

skilled team of Pastoral Support Officers who will also support you in your safeguarding role as

Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads. As attendance is high priority, we have appointed a Family

Liaison officer. Most recently we have appointed a PSO to manage our internal inclusion unit this,

alongside our reflection room, provides opportunity to reflect on behaviour choices and reduce the

number of suspensions across the school.

You will be a determined and resilient individual who believes that a culture of excellent behaviour for

learning and respect is vital to the progress of our students and key to supporting them unlocking

their full potential. To fulfil the role, you will be required to deal with students, parents and outside

agencies in a professional, prompt and confidential manner. Strong interpersonal skills are essential

The role is predominantly based in school but also has a wider remit, including working with families

and the wider community to promote engagement and intervention at the earliest opportunity.

Seeking links with alternative education providers and ensuring high quality provision is also part of

the day job.

The successful candidate will work with students aged 9 – 18, whose behaviour and disaffection has

significant impact upon their attainment. In line with our school values ‘Be Kind, Work Hard, Aim

High’, you will help to improve pupil progress and achievement by minimising barriers to learning and

maximising pupil participation.

This is an exciting time to join a dedicated staff team in our Ofsted rated GOOD school. You will play

an integral part in working towards our whole school priorities:

• to raise attainment of all students, including disadvantaged students, in all year groups

• to promote and enhance the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all members of our

community

In return, the role offers a friendly and supportive working environment with excellent opportunities

for training and development.

If you are interested in a career in student welfare, behaviour and/or wellbeing, then we’d like to hear

from you.

Further details about the school and vacancy can be obtained from or by emailing

lgordon01@jcsc.co.uk , Linda Gordon, Business Support Officer.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It is

essential that all staff and volunteers share this commitment. You can view our Safeguarding and Child

Protection Policy online. An enhanced criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service

is required for all posts.

Interested in applying? Completed forms must be emailed to Linda Gordon, Business Support Officer

at lgordon01@jcsc.co.uk .

The closing date for applications is 09:00 on Monday 13 May 2024.

Interviews will take place on Thursday 16 May 2024
