Safeguarding and SEND Administrator

Permanent post, 37.5 hours per week

8.30 am - 4.30 pm (Monday - Friday)

We are seeking to appoint a positive, proactive and resilient team player with strong organisational and time management skills, to become a vital part of the school’s pastoral team. This pivotal role will enhance our safeguarding provision by joining the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) team as a non-teaching Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, while providing effective administrative support to our SENDCo, Heads of Year and wider safeguarding team. 

The pastoral team encompasses our Heads of Year, from Year 7 to Year 13, supported by our SENDCo, Pastoral Administrator, Student Support and Character Mentor, and our Assistant Headteacher – Student Support and Welfare. Our Deputy Headteacher – Student and Staff Development leads our pastoral team and has the role of Designated Safeguarding Lead, supported by 5 Deputy DSLs. 

At Sutton Girls, we provide high quality teaching and learning, strong pastoral support and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities within a caring environment that values character development and wellbeing. Students are highly motivated, have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn. Whilst we have a long history of excellent GCSE and A-level results, we provide students with so much more than mastery of examination syllabuses. Our vision is for all students to have a love of learning, a positive and resilient approach with a strong sense of community. Each individual will be encouraged to be aspirational, prepared for their future and inspired to make a difference. 

Our culture is one which celebrates the diversity of the school’s intake and through the assembly, tutor time and Personal Development programme we build an understanding, kind, and respectful ethos. Our wide variety of extra-curricular activities enable students to develop their existing skills, discover new ones and broaden their horizons. There are numerous opportunities including sport, music, drama, DofE, STEM, various student led clubs and many residential trips, including CERN, World Challenge visits to Tanzania and China, ski trips to Italy and Canada. Our students are drawn from across the city of Birmingham, with many travelling long distances to be a part of Sutton Girls. There are over 1200 students in the school, including 307 students in our Sixth Form. We continue to be oversubscribed at Year 7 with six form entry throughout Years 7 to 11; many students also choose to join the school in Year 12. 

This is a supportive and happy environment in which teaching and support staff work together to provide students with a high quality, broad and balanced education.

Closing date for applications: 9.30am on Friday 4th October 2024
