Job overview
Exmouth Community College’s mission is to provide a well-structured, enjoyable and positive approach to learning that rewards student success and allows for individual aptitudes to flourish. We want students, staff, parents/carers and the entire Exmouth Community to be proud of their College; for students to make us their first choice for education and, for staff, their preferred place to work. Our team contributes to our mission by creating the conditions and opportunities to allow staff and the College to deliver consistently great teaching and learning to our students.
We are looking to appoint a Pastoral Support Assistant who will play a key role in both academic and pastoral care. As a member of the Pastoral Team, the Pastoral Support Assistant will work closely with the Head of Year to ensure that all students in their year group are supported in achieving their full potential. This role involves fostering a positive environment, addressing student needs, and promoting overall well-being.
The Pastoral Support Assistant supports the Head of Year as the core link between student and staff in relation to each individual student within the Year, and as part of the school’s wider Inclusion Team. The Pastoral Support Assistant works to ensure that each student:
- achieves their personal academic potential
- is enabled to develop the personal skills required to promote the standards of ECC
- has high attendance and punctuality
- has high standards of personal behaviour, uniform and appearance in line with school standards
- is supported in relation to any personal barriers which could limit their success at ECC and beyond
This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably skilled person to join the College and work in its community of highly motivated staff, enthusiastic students, supportive parents and a knowledgeable Governing Board.
Exmouth Community College is committed to providing the best possible care and education to our pupils and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. As part of our commitment, we need to ensure that all potential employees satisfy our employment checks. Please note that where appropriate, shortlisted and/or potentially suitable applicants will be required to undertake further checks. A satisfactory Enhanced DBS Disclosure (with Barred List check) will be required before the successful candidate can commence employment at Exmouth Community College.

About Exmouth Community College
Exmouth Community College is one of the largest secondary schools in the country with over 2,200 students currently enrolled (over 300 of these in Post 16). The College, which converted to Academy status in April 2011, is set in a leafy split-site location. Our catchment area extends northwards towards Exeter city and eastwards to include Budleigh Salterton and many attractive rural villages. The College embraces working as part of the community and has strong local partnerships.
Our mission is to provide a well-structured, enjoyable, and positive approach to learning that rewards student success and allows for individual aptitudes to flourish. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive College that caters to all abilities.
Our College provides a safe, secure, and non-threatening environment in which students can develop consideration for others, self-discipline and positive relationships. We strive to offer an education that prepares students for their future.
The Exmouth Community College Trust is overseen by the Governing Board who are committed to delivering the best comprehensive education for the young people of Exmouth and the surrounding villages.
We put the development of staff at the centre of our philosophy, including a unique Assistant Headteacher role with responsibility for our staff and their development. We take it really seriously, and very much subscribe to Richard Branson's mantra to develop our staff well enough so they can leave but treat them well enough so they don't want to.
There is a really strong sense of community at ECC. Through us all working together as staff, families and governors, and pulling together as one community, we will continue the great work to build a College that caters brilliantly for its community and prepares our young people for their future.
