## Description

Lift Kingsley are looking for a compassionate and proactive pastoral assistant to join our team and help create a caring and supportive environment where every student can thrive.

In this role, you'll work closely with students, families, and colleagues to support wellbeing, promote positive behaviour, and ensure excellent attendance across the school. You'll help identify students who need extra support and work with the wider pastoral team to put effective care plans in place. This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll make a real difference to young people's lives every day.

## Key Responsibilities

- Provide pastoral support to students, helping them integrate into daily school life and overcome personal challenges that affect their learning;

- Monitor and support students in at-risk groups, including those with SEND, EHCP, or a child protection plan, and work closely with relevant colleagues and families;

- Work with teachers to promote high standards of behaviour, using the school's behaviour policy to create and monitor plans that help students succeed;

- Support attendance monitoring and collaborate with the attendance officer to create intervention strategies that improve attendance and reduce truancy;

- Manage pastoral data on the school's information systems, ensuring records are accurate and up to date to safeguard students and support their wellbeing;

- Communicate regularly with parents about behaviour, attendance, and pastoral matters, building trusted relationships that support students.

## What We're Looking For

- GCSE maths and English (grade 4 or equivalent);

- The ability to engage with students who may find it difficult to express themselves or manage their emotions;

- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with children, colleagues, and families;

- Effective behaviour management strategies combined with high expectations for every student;

- The ability to stay calm under pressure and manage competing demands on your time;

- A non-judgemental approach and a desire for supporting all young people.
