• Act as a designated safeguarding lead, ensuring that safeguarding practice is robust and effective.
• Maintain accurate records on SIMS, CPOMS and behaviour systems.
• Work collaboratively with SSC Admin to monitor Pupil Missing in Education data and ensure appropriate reporting.

• Engage professionally with parents and carers, supporting them to help their child succeed.
• Make referrals to external agencies where additional support is required.
• Be highly visible around the school, supporting students and reinforcing expectations.
• Support the operational running of the SSC and wider pastoral team.
What We Are Looking For

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work calmly under pressure.
• A proactive team player who can build positive relationships with students, staff and families.
• A sound understanding of safeguarding, confidentiality and data protection.
• A genuine commitment to improving outcomes for young people.
We are proud of our successes and the opportunities we provide for our young people and our exciting curriculum offers an extensive range of subjects, where learning does not just happen in the classroom.
This is a great opportunity to join a friendly and supportive employer of choice, who can offer further professional development to any that show potential, willing and want for it.
