Pastoral Safeguarding Manager - Tiverton School

What is the job role?

We are looking to appoint a Pastoral and Safeguarding Manager following the retirement of our Pastoral Care Manager.

We are a growing specialist Primary school of 121 pupils. We are increasing to 131 pupils from September. We serve the SEND needs of a broad spectrum range of children with, ASD, PMLD, SLD, MLD and associated sensory, social, communication and behaviour difficulties.

We offer a caring workforce and a stimulating new teaching environment, as well as a bespoke curriculum model which is child centred and flexible to meet the needs of every child.

The ideal candidate will possess exceptional interpersonal skills and a profound understanding of the challenges faced by parents of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Building robust relationships with families lies at the heart of our school's ethos, making this role integral to our community.

Who are we looking for?

Applicants must demonstrate a proven ability to work effectively with children, as well as parents, and possess a foundational understanding of health and social care systems. Familiarity with safeguarding procedures and the capacity to maintain confidentiality are essential requirements.

Responsibilities will include providing unwavering support and guidance to families, facilitating signposting and application processes, and offering invaluable advice as needed. Proficiency in ICT and adept report writing skills are also essential, as the role encompasses administrative duties such as organising events and coffee mornings.

Flexibility is paramount, as the role may necessitate adapting to evolving circumstances and occasionally going above and beyond to ensure the safeguarding and well-being of our pupils. Despite the challenges, our supportive staff remain steadfast in prioritising the needs of our pupils.

If you are a dedicated individual who shares our commitment to supporting families and ensuring the welfare of our students, we invite you to join our team. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our school community.
