Are you a passionate Youth Worker looking to transition your skills into a secondary school environment? Do you have the confidence to lead a classroom while maintaining a strong pastoral focus?

We are seeking a dynamic individual to join a vibrant secondary school in Blackpool as a Pastoral Cover Lead. This unique role combines classroom management with front line pastoral support for students aged 11-16 (KS3 & KS4).

The Role: Impacting Lives in the Classroom

In this position, you will be a visible, supportive presence across the school. Your responsibilities will include:

Classroom Cover: Delivering pre-set lessons across various subjects, ensuring students remain on task and engaged in a safe learning environment.

Pastoral Mentoring: Working 1-on-1 or in small groups with students to address barriers to learning, such as attendance, behaviour, or emotional well-being.

De-escalation: Using your youth work background to manage challenging situations with empathy, patience, and firm boundaries.

Collaboration: Working alongside Heads of Year and the Safeguarding team to ensure the "Blackpool student" is supported holistically.

What We're Looking For

Experience: A proven track record in youth work, community coaching, or school-based pastoral roles.

Resilience: The ability to manage classroom dynamics and command respect from students aged 11-16.

Adaptability: Someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

Local Knowledge: An understanding of the specific challenges and rewards of working with young people in the Blackpool area.

Qualifications: A Degree or Level 3+ qualification in Youth Work, Education, or Social Care is highly desirable.

Why Choose This Role?

Paid to Scale: We value your experience. Your daily rate will reflect your expertise and the responsibilities of the role.

Long-Term Stability: This is a consistent, long-term temporary position with the potential to lead to a permanent school contract.

Professional Development: Gain invaluable "on-the-job" experience in a formal education setting perfect for those considering a future in teaching or social work.

Community Impact: Make a direct difference to the aspirations and outcomes of local Blackpool teenagers.
