Working under the supervision of the Assistant Principal, you will collaborate closely with the Student Wellbeing Team (SWT), Heads of Year (HoY), and Year Teams to provide vital pastoral and behavioral support.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Student Engagement: Building deep, trusting relationships with the student body.
-
Visibility: Maintaining an active, calm presence in corridors, stairwells, and common areas.
-
Behavioral & Social Support: Facilitating and uniformly enforcing school rules and the consequence ladder; leading individual student interventions; and assisting with anti-bullying investigations and mediation.

Prior experience working with children or teenagers in a school environment.

Exceptional communication and constructive listening skills, with a proven ability to handle and de-escalate conflicts calmly under pressure.
