Pastoral Support Officer

Are you looking to work in a high performing and supportive organisation where you can make a genuine difference?

We are looking to recruit a Pastoral Support Officer to join our hardworking and collaborative team, Rosebery Respite, contributing to the pastoral care of our students.

If you have a passion for working with young people, particularly those who face significant barriers at school, and are looking to flourish at work and be professionally fulfilled, we would love to hear from you.

Your opportunity

As a key member of the Rosebery Respite team and working closely with Heads of Year and Deputy Heads of Year, the Pastoral Support Officer will provide high-quality and timely support to students who regularly demonstrate challenging behaviour negatively affecting their ability to learn and/or whose low attendance affects their progress at school. The successful candidate will maintain a presence in lessons and Rosebery Respite, supporting staff experiencing challenging behaviour and provide targeted support for students who are persistently absent. The Pastoral Support Officer will also engage regularly with parents, informing them of the progress of their child, undertake home visits, and run workshops to promote positive behaviour strategies at home.

What we are looking for

Someone with experience of working with young people, ideally in a school setting

An empathetic communicator who is able to build appropriate relationships with young people and their families

An organised individual who is willing to take initiative and work autonomously

Commitment to the aims and ethos of the school

Experience in working with external agencies which provide support to vulnerable young people and families

A team player who genuinely believes every child can succeed About us

Rosebery School is a vibrant and stimulating place to work. We have a record of high performance but continually challenge all members of our community to improve further, in order to fulfil our moral purpose to provide the best possible educational experience for our students, who are a delight to teach.

We set high expectations for all, but this is accompanied by a support system for students and staff which includes universal access to coaching and mentoring, significant opportunities for individualised personal, academic and professional development and a culture which emphasises kindness and integrity above all.

We are committed to creating a happy, purposeful and secure environment which provides the opportunity for all to develop and grow; to build confidence and self-belief; and to be enriched and stimulated so that everyone plays an active and positive part of the Rosebery, Epsom and wider communities.
