We are seeking an exceptional Pastoral Support Assistant to join our ambitious and evolving pastoral team in an exciting newly created administrative role at the heart of our developing pastoral provision.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape and establish systems, processes and ways of working that will have a direct impact on the support we provide to our students and families.
