Pay Rate: £120 - £150 daily rate

We are working with an excellent secondary school in the London Borough of Greenwich to appoint a dedicated Pastoral Support Officer, with primary responsibility for behaviour management of students in Years 8 and 9.

About the School
The school is committed to delivering a safe, inclusive and high-expectation environment where every young person can flourish. The pastoral team plays a pivotal role in shaping the school culture of positive behaviour, resilience and engagement.

The Role

  * Lead behaviour management for the Year 8 & 9 cohorts: supporting students in-class, in corridors, break/lunch times and during transitions to ensure a calm, focused learning environment.

  * Work closely with form tutors, Year Leads and Senior Leadership to monitor, record and intervene in behavioural incidents; design and implement behaviour improvement plans and restorative / support programmes.

  * Provide mentoring and support to students who are at risk of disengagement, poor behaviour or attendance; liaise with parents/carers and external agencies as required.

  * Promote and maintain the school’s behaviour policy: using rewards, sanctions, de-escalation strategies and restorative conversations to support behaviour change.

  * Be highly visible around the school, modelling high expectations of conduct, making positive contact with students, and supporting staff in maintaining effective behaviour standards.

  * Maintain accurate records of behaviour incidents, interventions and outcomes; provide regular reports and analysis to the pastoral team to inform strategy.

About You

  * Proven experience working with young people in a school or education setting, with a strong track-record in behaviour management or pastoral support.

  * Excellent interpersonal and communication skills: able to build positive relationships with students, staff and parents; confident in delivering restorative conversations and behaviour interventions.

  * Calm, resilient and solutions-focussed, with the ability to respond quickly to behaviour incidents and maintain momentum for students’ reintegration and success.

  * Skilled in using behaviour-management systems and data tracking (or willing to learn); organised and able to prioritise competing demands.

  * A positive role-model: committed to promoting the school’s values, safeguarding and high standards of conduct for all students.

Why Join?

  * A key role in a supportive, forward-thinking school where behaviour and pastoral provision are genuinely valued.

  * The opportunity to make a tangible difference to the lives of young people at a pivotal stage (Years 8 & 9) of their secondary education.

  * Joining a dedicated pastoral team with clear professional development pathways and a strong ethos of continuous improvement.
