Essex, United Kingdom Compass Schools Full time

**About The Role**:
Compass Community School Essex is an independent specialist school providing high-quality, therapeutic and child-centred education to boys and girls from 11 to 17 years of age in Little Clacton, Essex.

Our children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.

The work we do is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support.

Our closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, our students can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

**The Role***

We are a therapeutic school and believe in a healing approach to supporting and modifying challenging behaviour. Our Therapeutic Pastoral Lead needs to embody, lead and facilitate this in our schools by working holistically.

Therapeutic Pastoral Leads work within our leadership group in school as a key member of the local leadership team. They are co-managed by Regional SENCOs and the Therapeutic Development Manager. We view this position as an integral role within our school community and, as such, we are looking for someone with capacity and skills to work at this level.

The successful applicant will receive specialist training in our Assessing and Healing Childhood Trauma (AHCT) approach and, in turn, promote and enable all education staff to fully understand how this supports students in our care.
- The pastoral, SMSC, Socio-Emotional resilience and personal development of students.
- Assessment, monitoring, reporting upon, and supporting the overall holistic progress and personal development of students.
- Ensuring that safeguarding is paramount and safeguarding policies are adhered to.
- Contributing to the annual School Improvement Plan and School Evaluation Form
- Maintaining knowledge of, and taking shared responsibility for, the SMSC and Personal Development elements of the Independent School Standards and the Ofsted Inspection framework, working to promote these on a day to day basis.
