Applicants are invited to apply for the position of Student Support Officer at St Thomas a Becket Catholic Secondary School, part of the Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust. The post is temporary in the first instance until 31.08.25 with the possibility of this being extended.
The Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust comprises of three Secondary Schools and twelve Primary Schools. We have a vision for our Trust that goes beyond our individual academies and that changes our perception from my academy to our academy. Working collaboratively, each academy benefits from others’ strengths and expertise within the Trust, and practically from the services provided and procured centrally.
The successful candidate will join a team of 5 Student Support Officers, each one working closely with a particular year group alongside the Year Leader, focusing on behaviour management, and day to day operational issues associated with pastoral care that are acting as a barrier to their learning. The role will involve liaising with the DSL, Pastoral team, SLT, parents/carers and relevant outside agencies. Patience, adaptability and a sense of humor are essential for the role. Experience of behaviour management, safeguarding in schools and pastoral care is desirable.
As a member of our team you will be supported and challenged, so that as well as contributing to students’ success and that of the School, you are personally developed in your career.
We take enormous joy and pride in being a very happy school, where pupils feel safe and cared for and know that they belong to an incredibly special family. We are proud of our excellent reputation, which is built on outstanding pastoral care in which each individual is known, treasured and supported throughout their school journey, rich wider opportunities and excellent exam results. The relatively small size of the school as well as the way we structure learning, allow us as a staff team to genuinely know each child as an individual, enabling them to thrive and flourish.
We always welcome speaking to interested candidates. For further information about the school or role, please call Miss Hargreaves, HR Officer, on 01924 303 545 or email shargreaves@beckets.bkcat.uk
Closing Date: 21st March 2025
