Job description

Children and Families Lead

Supporting pupils and their families to achieve their full potential

Post Title: Children and Families Lead
Post Level: I
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week (but this is negotiable to suit the right candidate)
Reports to: Headteacher/SLT
Liaison with: SENCO, SLT, teaching and support staff, pupils, families, governors, other schools, external agencies

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced member of staff to join our incredible team at Abbots Farm Junior School as soon as possible to lead and further develop our amazing Children and Families Team - the pastoral support service that we are proud to offer for our pupils and their families.

Our school motto is “Learners for Life, Farmers Forever” and this ethos drives everything that we do for the children here at Abbots Farm Junior School. It is underpinned by our trauma-informed, relational approach where building relationships is everyone’s business and everyone’s first priority. We are a close-knit, friendly school community with incredible pupils and fabulous parents and carers who are all a vital part of our FABULOUS FARMERS FAMILY. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional broad and balanced education in a caring, inclusive environment which respects and nurtures all members of our school community. Our staff are a cohesive and highly experienced team who work together to provide the very best learning opportunities for all pupils and create the “Farmers Forever” moments that our children and their families will always remember.

We operate a ‘team around the child approach’ to supporting our pupils, to build a network of adults around those pupils and families that need more support. This helps us to ensure that there is always someone available to support a pupil that they are familiar with and also support pupils in developing relationships with different people and for different purposes. The successful candidate for this role would be someone committed to this approach to supporting pupils and to being part of the team around a child for many children across our school; an adult that champions them every day and is there for them when they need you most.

We are seeking to recruit someone who epitomises our “Learners for Life, Farmers Forever” ethos by being as ambitious for their own learning and professional development as they are for that of the children at Abbots Farm. Therefore, we are willing to provide training wherever possible to support you not only directly in this role, but also to support you to progress further in your career or with any other development aspirations that you may have.
If you would like to arrange to visit our school, please contact the school office on 01788 576074 or via email [e-mail] – we would love to show you around! 😊

Closing date: 5pm Monday 1st December
