Dartford, United Kingdom LeighAcademiesTrust Full time

Wilmington Academy has an exciting opportunity to appoint a Student Services Manager to join their thriving team from September 2024. Our ideal candidate will bring with them a range of experience working with secondary-aged young adults, an ability to foster excellent working relationships with a variety of stakeholders and contacts both within the academy and external agencies, and will have a positive mind-set that means they will go over and above to support our students without a moment’s hesitation.

The primary purpose of the post is to manage the social, moral and spiritual wellbeing of the students across the college communities and to liaise with parents, carers and outside agencies, as required. This is a rewarding position within the pastoral remit of our school, working alongside and supporting fellow Student Services Managers and the leadership team in their daily operational roles.

The basis of the role is permanent, 37 hours per week, Term Time + 1 week inset, offering an actual salary of £25,721 per annum (£29,904 full-time equivalent).



Working with us: ‘Wilmington Academy is an exceptional school providing a world-class education for its pupils and sixth formers.’ Ofsted May 2023

The Academy is very successful, rated by Ofsted as Outstanding in all areas, where students from a wide variety of backgrounds and starting points can flourish and succeed. The IB philosophy is at the heart of the curriculum and is carefully designed to meet the needs and aspirations of all our young people. We have an extensive programme of enrichment and support that provides extra opportunities for personal development and growth and students are encouraged to contribute to their wider community. We are housed in state of the art buildings in a semi-rural location just outside of Dartford. Wilmington offers a calm and purposeful learning environment where students are thoughtful, polite and respectful.

In September 2017 we became an International Baccalaureate World School and offer the IB Career-related Programme in key stage 5. In July 2020 we were successfully authorised to deliver the IB Middle Years Programme in Key Stage 3, to ensure we provide our students with a truly world class education. Value added puts it in the top band for similar schools nationally in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 and examination outcomes are among the best of non-selective schools in Kent.

Academic excellence, hard work and good manners are expected of all our students. International- mindedness, cultural understanding and an appreciation of the benefits diversity can bring are at the heart of what we believe. Our success is achieved through teamwork. Subject teams work closely together to share resources and ideas to achieve the very best outcomes for our students. We support the Trust model of small schools within a school, so that no student is left behind. Vertical tutor groups, an excellent pastoral programme underpinned by a strong moral purpose, helps students to develop into responsible, well-educated young adults who are ready to take their next steps in life. A large proportion of our students go on to University and high level apprenticeships.

We aim for excellence in everything we do and have received recognition at regional and national level for our work. We are forward thinking and outward facing, constantly striving to advance and improve. We are very supportive and offer excellent training and development opportunities for staff at the various stages of their careers. We are a friendly, caring and ambitious community placing the academic progress and welfare of our students at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with Leigh Academies Trust, external partners and organisations to ensure we provide the educational experience our students need to make their way in an increasingly complex and ever changing world.
