The trustees of Blackdown Education Partnership are seeking an exceptional individual to join our Central Education Team in providing support and guidance to pastoral teams in our schools.

What will I be doing?

We are a growing Trust of 12 soon to be 13 schools of which 6 are primary and 7, secondary.

We are looking for someone with the knowledge and skillset to work across both primary and secondary schools providing leadership, practical solutions and support with implementing Trust policies. This could be reviewing behaviour policies, training pastoral support staff, modelling relational practice, reviewing data trends, gathering pupil voice, supporting the creation of individual behaviour plans or participating in a Team Around the School meeting.

We are also looking for someone who is ready and willing to roll up their sleeves and join a School Leadership Team temporarily if they were facing a particularly acute set of challenges.

You will need to be flexible, creative, resilient and care deeply about the children in our schools. This role has the potential to make a real difference and we are determined to provide our school leaders with exceptional support.
