We are a thriving community secondary school committed to providing a high-quality education for all pupils. We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every pupil can reach their full potential.
Funded by the Armed Forces Education Trust, this one-year fixed-term contract position allows you to play a crucial role in supporting Service Pupils and their families by developing processes that enhance their transitions in and out of school and maximise their learning.
We are seeking a friendly, compassionate and dedicated individual who enjoys working with young people and thrives in a supportive environment to join our team as a Service Pupil Manager.
Key responsibilities will include:
* establishing enhanced systems and processes to facilitate smooth transitions for Service Pupils (both into and out of the school)
* meeting with Service Pupils and their families to support their schooling
* mentoring Service Pupils
* supporting their personal and social development
* collaborating with teachers and parents to ensure their academic success.
You will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of all Service Pupils and help create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
The successful applicant will proactively develop and plan transitions and supportive interventions, anticipate challenges/barriers to learning and work with pastoral, teaching and inclusion staff to facilitate learning and minimise disruption. You must be proactive in your approach, working closely with parents, our staff team, and Army representatives to find workable solutions and responses to any issues arising around wellbeing and attendance, such as anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties with transitions. You will foster strong working relationships with parents, our staff team, and Army Welfare to ensure a coordinated and effective approach to supporting our Service Pupils.
