Pastoral Manager
Oasis Academy Don Valley is a coeducational Academy in Sheffield, which admits students between the ages of 4 to 16 years, where we celebrate diversity and relentlessly focus on the attainment of all of our children. We thrive in an environment full of different thinkers and burgeoning potential. A multi-cultural hub of learning with fantastic facilities and a newly formed team of professional educators and support staff that have the best interests and safety of our young charges firmly at the centre of everything we do.
Oasis Academies exist to provide a rich and balanced educational environment which caters for the whole person - academically, vocationally, socially, morally, spiritually, physically, emotionally and environmentally. Our task is to serve our students, as well as to provide a learning hub for the entire community. In this way we will raise aspirations, unlock potential and work to achieve excellence through encouraging a ‘can do’ culture which nurtures confident and competent people.
We recognise that providing teaching and learning for all is not always easy and as an academy we deal with any challenging situations as a collaborative team that supports and helps out as needed. It’s what makes us strong and confident about our future and that of our young people.

At Oasis we offer exceptional personal development opportunities both within our Don Valley Academy school and beyond.
We invest in our people to ensure they are properly trained and informed in their area of expertise and have every opportunity to progress further – even up to Regional Director and beyond. There is no barrier and no blocker to progression if you seek it.
The Don Valley team is ambitious, enthused and determined to deliver the very best education for our young people and being part of a motivated and inspired team makes for great results and brings personal reward and satisfaction.
The role and requirements:
Diversity of background and situation inevitably brings a diversity of attitude to, and engagement with, teaching and learning. This can result in behavioural and/or attendance challenges which need addressing so we can ensure every student can access great quality education and progress to fulfil their ambition.
The role of Pastoral Manager is to ensure all students in one year are ready to learn and are well supported through effective management of behaviours, attendance and safeguarding.

* You will be experienced at de-escalation techniques and are keen to continue with your personal development.

* You are able to set clear expectations which inspire, motivate and challenge students and are experienced at promoting good progress and outcomes.
* You are a firm, unambiguous communicator able to keep calm and maintain control under potentially challenging circumstances.
* Organised and adaptable you will be a natural collaborator and possess good literacy and numeracy skills.
* Demonstrate emotional resilience in working with varying behaviours and attitudes to use of authority and maintaining discipline.
