Fowey River Academy Job Opportunity
Fowey River Academy, part of Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, is seeking to appoint a caring, committed, and proactive Student Welfare Officer to join our dedicated pastoral team.
At Fowey River Academy, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels safe, valued, supported, and ready to learn. The Student Welfare Officer will play a key role in promoting students’ personal, social, and emotional development, identifying and removing barriers to learning, and providing targeted support and intervention.
Working closely with students, families, tutors, teachers, SEND staff, Heads of Faculty, and external agencies, you will support vulnerable and disadvantaged students in our Learning Support Hub, with a particular focus on attendance, wellbeing, behavior, and engagement. You will use relevant information and data to identify students requiring additional support, plan and evaluate interventions, and adapt provision in response to student progress.
The role will also involve supporting students at key transition points, contributing to a calm and well-ordered environment, and promoting high expectations, positive relationships, and a culture where every student is ready to learn.

About You:
You will be a compassionate, resilient, and approachable professional who is passionate about improving outcomes for young people. You will have the ability to build positive relationships with students and families, including those experiencing complex or challenging circumstances.
You will be highly organized, with excellent communication skills and the ability to manage a varied caseload, maintain accurate records, and work effectively with colleagues and external agencies.
