Job overview
Kenton School is at the cutting edge of modern education. With just under 1,800 students, we are amongst the largest schools in the North East, however despite our size we pride ourselves on retaining a family atmosphere and in ensuring that we cater for the needs of all our students, recognising their special gifts or talents.
At the heart of this is our pastoral team and an exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and highly competent specialist to join us in the role of Year Leader, supporting a designated year group through their school experience.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience in either education, children’s social care or another children’s sector pastoral role. Working in pairs, you will work with and support teachers and classroom support staff, parents/carers and other professionals and agencies to effectively manage the full range of pastoral issues, including behavior management, safeguarding and welfare, and formulate and implement strategies to ensure barriers are removed so every child is able to achieve their potential.
To be successful, you will have:
- significant and demonstrable experience working effectively with secondary age children with social, emotional and behavioural issues;
- knowledge of the key issues affecting behaviour, attendance and welfare;
- excellent interpersonal skills to not only motivate and challenge students, including designing and delivering inspirational assemblies, but to work effectively with parents/carers and other colleagues, professionals and agencies to ensure the pastoral needs of the child are met.
In return, we offer fantastic developmental possibilities due to our size, facilities and a forward-thinking management and staff working together to offer the best available chances for our students.
Closing date: Noon on 24th January 2019

Kenton Schools Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in all our schools and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
