In addition, you will be required to work closely as part of the safeguarding team, advising on safeguarding issues, preparing reports, making referrals and attending meetings relating to the well-being of children. Together, you will ensure that staff are appropriately trained and follow the policies of the academy. You will also work as part of the pastoral team to ensure and support excellent behaviour for learning through analysing patterns, identifying and addressing concerns and working alongside pupils to support them to access learning, setting high expectations.
You should have an understanding of the statutory nature of education welfare work, a good standard of education and excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. You will need to be confident communicating with parents, children and other professionals. The hours for the role are flexible to meet the needs of the Trust, the academy and its community.
