Pastoral Assistant (Part-Time)

Part-Time Pastoral Assistant

We do things differently at Canbury – because we understand that everyone is unique, as such we know that the manner in which we educate and support our students must also embrace those differences to ensure that we harness their individual talents.

If you thrive on seeing the opportunities in a situation, rather than the challenges, then we want to hear from you. We are seeking a talented individual with a ‘can do’ attitude. The pastoral aspects of the school are integral to our ethos and aims, and we pride ourselves on the provision we offer to students.

All staff here act, teach, foster and mentor in a way designed to bring out the very best in every one of our extraordinary students. We expect the utmost mutual respect from all, and working as part of a team is vital. You should be able to work constructively within a cohesive and busy school.

At Canbury, the students are genuinely at the heart of everything we do, and everybody goes the extra mile. It is, therefore, essential that you enjoy working for the benefit and enrichment of neurodiverse students.

Purpose of post
