Those Huge Small Victories

For children with complex, challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond. That’s what drives us, here at Witherslack Group. With our high staff-to-child ratio and in-house clinical teams, we’re proud to have a reputation for excellence and market-leading OFSTED ratings.

Get Out What You Put In

As a Pastoral Manager, you’ll take the lead in enabling your team to meet our young peoples’ emotional needs. Our young people have challenging complex emotional and behavioural needs such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder, SEMH, and require more support than most. You’ll ensure they receive high standards of care by working with families and developing tailored programs for each individual young person. Through careful assessment and planning, you’ll create a positive learning environment where every young person can thrive.

With experience working with young people with BESD or ASD in a school or care setting, you will understand their developmental needs and what pastoral care entails. A good listener who can motivate your team, you inspire young people to achieve. Flexibility, good organizational skills, and the ability to manage a team effectively will make you an asset to the Witherslack Group.

One of the best environments in SEND

Hartwell School is an independent specialist day school based in Stockton-on-Tees, providing high-quality education for pupils with SEMH needs and other associated conditions. The recent OFSTED rating of 'Good' has established the school as one of the leading specialist provisions in the North East.

What We Do For You

• Flexible benefits, including options to adjust life insurance and other perks
• Wellbeing tools and employee assistance programs
• Medical cover for services like opticians and dentists, plus high-street discounts

• Referral bonus scheme of £1,000 per successful referral
• Contributory pension scheme, matched up to 5%

Bring Your Whole-self To Work

Our young people come from diverse backgrounds, and our workforce reflects that diversity. You’ll be more than a Pastoral Manager; you’ll connect with our pupils and support their individual needs.

Because Of

• Minimum of 3 years’ experience working with ASC, ADHD, or SEMH pupils, and with families in challenging circumstances
• Experience in multi-agency collaboration, with knowledge of safeguarding and child protection legislation
• NVQ Level 3 in Care or Level 2 Teaching Assistant Qualification
