William Ellis School is a thriving, voluntary aided, non‑denominational, inclusive comprehensive boys’ school serving the educational needs of boys from the ages of 11 to 18. It is an attractive site on the edge of Hampstead Heath with excellent access to Central London. It is a neighbourhood of great social and cultural diversity, and this diversity is very well represented at William Ellis.

The school is committed to nurturing successful students and good citizens through strong relationships in line with the school motto, “rather use than fame”. The school is part of the longest established and most successful mixed sixth form consortium in London, LaSWAP, which enables our students to access a wide range of subject expertise. We provide excellent professional opportunities for staff and are part of the Camden family of schools.

The school wishes to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Pastoral Support Assistant for a full‑time post. The successful candidate will play a key role in the school. The Pastoral side of the school is very impressive with fantastic support. Ideally you will have similar experience working in a secondary environment and be available to start very soon.
