Burton Borough School is seeking an inspiring, committed and highly motivated Pastoral & Behaviour Support Coordinator to join our pastoral team at an exciting time in our school’s journey.

Located in the market town of Newport, on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, Burton Borough is a vibrant and inclusive school of approximately 1,200 students, with easy access to Shrewsbury, Stafford, Telford and Wolverhampton. We are proud to be part of the Learning Community Trust, having joined in April 2024, placing us within a forward-thinking, research-informed network where collaboration, professional development and continuous improvement are at the heart of what we do.

At Burton Borough, we are ambitious, proud and caring.

Our school sits at the heart of the Newport community, and we believe we have a privileged role in helping every young person to flourish.

As Pastoral & Behaviour Support Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in making this ambition a reality. Working under the guidance of the Assistant Principal for Student Culture and Behaviour, you will lead and champion your year group, building strong relationships with students and families and ensuring that every young person feels known, valued, supported and challenged to achieve their very best.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about young people and understands the difference that excellent pastoral care, high expectations and strong relationships can make.

• Work closely with students and families to identify and overcome barriers to learning.
• Develop positive partnerships with parents, carers, colleagues and relevant external agencies.
• Celebrate students’ achievements and encourage them to make a positive contribution to school life and the wider community.
• Provide effective pastoral and administrative support to the Head of Year and wider pastoral team in response to the needs of students and the school.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a genuine passion for working with and supporting young people.
• Brings energy, warmth, resilience and enthusiasm to the role.
• Has high expectations and believes that every student can succeed.
• Can build trusting and effective relationships with students and families.
• Communicates confidently and sensitively, including when navigating challenging situations.
• Is proactive, organised and able to balance the varied demands of a busy pastoral role.
• Understands the importance of attendance, behaviour and positive engagement in securing successful outcomes for young people.
• Is committed to our values of being ambitious, proud and caring.

In return, we offer:

• A high-quality CPD programme through the Learning Community Trust.
• An in-house CPD programme to support professional development.
• A genuine commitment to career development and future leadership opportunities.
• Opportunities to become involved in the wider life of the school and our community.
• The opportunity to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of young people.

If you are an enthusiastic and compassionate pastoral professional who combines high expectations with genuine care, and you want to play a key role in helping our students flourish, we would love to see your application.
