The successful candidate will provide a nurturing approach to learners in most need of support, maintain high levels of attendance and deliver suitable interventions for those requiring support attending school.

The successful candidate must join the PVG Scheme or complete an update check. If they have spent a continuous period of 3 months or more abroad in the last 5 years, an overseas criminal record check is required.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, and from people with minority ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, care‑experienced people, carers, and LGBT+ people. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience, and disabled and care‑experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

Happy to talk flexible working.
