About the Role
South Wolds is a high attaining, semi-rural school located in the village of Keyworth in Nottinghamshire which is only 6 miles from West Bridgford. We are also a founding partner of the East Midlands Education Trust, committed to providing a first-class education for all of our students.
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Pastoral Support Assistant who is passionate, proactive and committed to ensuring that every student is supported to achieve their full potential. Working as part of our dedicated pastoral team, the successful candidate will play a key role in supporting students' wellbeing, attendance, behaviour and personal development.

You will provide targeted pastoral interventions, act as a key worker for identified students, support reintegration following suspension, and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure students feel safe, supported and successful.
