The King's School · Ottery St Mary, South West
This is an exciting
opportunity to join a well‑established, tight‑knit pastoral team that is deeply
committed to ensuring every student feels safe, supported and able to thrive.
As our Attendance, Behaviour and Welfare Manager, you will play a pivotal role
in shaping the daily experience of young people – working alongside experienced
colleagues who value collaboration, professional trust and shared problem‑solving.
You’ll take the lead on driving high‑quality attendance practice, overseeing
first‑day response systems, home‑visit coordination and the monitoring of key
cohorts such as those who are persistently absent. Your work will directly
influence whole‑school culture, ensuring that every child is known, understood
and given the right support at the right time.
You will also be at
the heart of our behaviour and inclusion strategy, using data insight to spot
trends, guide interventions and strengthen our inclusive ethos. As a
safeguarding officer, you’ll contribute to the school’s robust safeguarding
culture, working closely with the DSL, pastoral leaders and external agencies
to support vulnerable students. This role offers the chance to make a
meaningful difference every day – whether through co-ordinating Early Help
processes, supporting multi‑agency work, or building strong relationships with
families. If you’re passionate about student welfare, confident with data, and
eager to join a dedicated team that values expertise and compassion in equal
measure, this is a role where you can truly have impact.
