About the role:

The College has a unique curriculum delivery model to provide more coherent progression pathways and in line with this, we have developed and introduced the role of Wellbeing & Safeguarding Officer, which has been crucial to our students progress and attainment over recent years.

Supporting and enabling students to achieve their potential lies at the heart of this role within our Sixth Form College. The welfare team are integral to identifying and meeting the support needs of all, but particularly our vulnerable students, to remove any barriers to their long-term academic success and well-being. This role requires an individual who understands the need to balance support with challenge and someone who can foster a strong rapport with students, parents and teams across the college.

Are you looking for a team-based role which mentors, supports and enables students to overcome personal challenges and barriers?  Do you have experience of encouraging, motivating and supporting student independence and self-determination through effective mentoring techniques?   If so, our Wellbeing & Safeguarding Officer role could be perfect for you.

This opportunity has been created with the aim to effectively support students to maximise success. This is a perfect time to join our College as we transform how we motivate students and support learning, and we hope you will join us on this journey.
