Due to expanding our pastoral team, we are looking to appoint a Student Development Champion (SDC) to join our Upper Academy on a part-time basis.
The successful candidate will have an enthusiasm that will inspire students to outstanding outcomes.
Salary Range: Band 4 FTE £30,209- £33,400. Actual starting salary is £10,062 per annum, with performance-based increments available.
Working weeks: 39 weeks (Term Time) and Parent/Open evening as required.
Working Hours: 14.5 hours per week (08:00-16:00 Thursday and 08:00 - 15:30 Fri).
We are an aspirational academy operating across two sites. The Lower Academy specializes in the teaching of our Key Stage 3 students, whilst the Upper Academy specializes in teaching Key Stage 4 and 5.
Our Student Development Champions are non-teaching team members that provide the support to enable our learners to overcome barriers to learning. This is a unique opportunity to join a successful academy as part of a supportive and very hard-working pastoral team.
As a Student Development Champion, you will focus on attitude to learning and will act as the key contact for parents of your identified student cohort. You will have responsibility for matters such as reintegrating students into mainstream lessons following removal, consistency checks, on-call, uniform, attendance, phone calls home, as well as supporting pupils with their learning in order to meet their targets.
This SDC role is currently based at our Upper Academy as the return to learn room lead, although Student Development Champions can be redeployed to other areas of the academy based on operational needs and their skill set.
We are dedicated to supporting staff to build a fulfilling career. As a new member of staff, you will be offered excellent support and development.
If you can engage, motivate and challenge our students to make exceptional progress, then we would welcome your application. Please download and complete our application form and return it to our Recruitment & Cover Coordinator, Olivia Faustino - recruitment@basildonacademies.org.uk

Information about the School
The Basildon Academies is focused upon developing the whole child; our curriculum has been developed to enable our students to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills so that they will become lifelong learners. This includes opportunities for linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technical, human, social, physical and artistic learning so that students make progress in a wide range of subjects.
We set high expectations of all our students and this, in turn, ensures we create a positive climate for learning in which every student can reach their full potential. Our Academy is a calm, orderly and purposeful environment where students enjoy their learning, make good progress and feel safe.
Our Sixth Form is a major part of the academy with the structure modeling itself on developing independent learning skills like those seen in universities which allows students to continue their studies in their specialist subject areas. Students are very much encouraged to become mature adults being engaged in many aspects of the life of the academy which further develops those much-needed skills to go on into university or the world of work.
All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
