We are looking to appoint a confident individual to support students at The Hollyfield School in achieving their full potential.

 

We value students’ mental health and wellbeing and understand that if they are to make strong academic progress, high quality pastoral care is essential. The role of SSO is more important than ever in ensuring our students feel safe and happy at school. This is an opportunity for an experienced colleague or someone with the right skills set to make a real difference to the lives of the young people in our community. You will also be assisting with key administrative tasks, ensuring our students receive the right support in a timely manner.

 

The successful candidate will be an integral part of our pastoral team, working closely with the Heads of Year, SENCo and Senior Leadership Team and of course with our wonderful students. They will be available to help students navigate and deal with their problems as they arise.  They will also be a key part of our strategic response to our ongoing pastoral priorities. As such, they will have the opportunity to provide intervention strategies around behaviour management, mental health and wellbeing, positive self-image, dealing with trauma and restorative approaches.
