The role of a Pastoral Care Worker will be suitable for candidates who have the commitment, passion and resilience to make a difference to pupils who have a range of social, emotional, mental health (SEMH) and special educational needs, such as ADHD, Autism and ACES. Pastoral Care Workers work under the guidance of senior staff within an agreed system of supervision, working flexibly across the provision in response to the needs of pupils. As part of a specialist team, Pastoral Care Workers play an important role in helping to create a stimulating, safe and structured environment for pupils with complex needs when pupils are dysregulated. Pastoral Care Workers support pupils’ long-term development through the planning and delivery of interventions, coaching conversations and therapeutic activities or by providing general support in the classroom under the guidance of a teacher.
