Student Support Coordinator

Lift Aylward is looking for a Student Support Coordinator who cares deeply about young people and wants to help shape a positive, inclusive school community.

This is a varied and rewarding role. You will work closely with our Assistant Principal and Directors of Learning to support the wellbeing, behaviour and progress of students across the school. You will be visible and approachable – guiding students through the school day, supporting transitions, and helping to create a calm and purposeful environment where every child can thrive.

You will focus on key areas like uniform, punctuality, attendance and behaviour, working collaboratively with colleagues and families to address barriers and celebrate success. You will also help coordinate parents' evenings, manage detentions, and support students with medical or welfare needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the behaviour and wellbeing of students in your assigned year group, working with colleagues to implement strategies that help every child succeed;
• Monitor and promote positive behaviour, providing pastoral care and guidance to students;
• Be on duty before and after school, at break and lunchtimes, and during transitions around the building;
• Work with families and external agencies where appropriate, holding sensitive conversations and representing the school at professional meetings;
• Collaborate with the pastoral and admin teams to improve attendance, punctuality and engagement;
• Maintain confidentiality and follow safeguarding procedures at all times.

What We're Looking For:

• GCSE Maths and English (grade 4) or equivalent;
• Background working with children and young people;
• The ability to communicate clearly with students, families and colleagues;
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to balance competing demands and priorities;
• An understanding of the social and welfare issues that affect children and families;
• A non-judgmental, compassionate approach and a genuine belief in every young person's potential.

We're looking for someone who is resilient, approachable and ready to keep going even when things are challenging. Can you bring warmth, clarity and calm to a busy school environment?
