About the Role (FY Area)
Are you a resilient and empathetic individual looking to make a real difference in a Blackpool secondary school? We are seeking a Pastoral Cover & Student Support Officer to join our dedicated team this May. This is a dual-impact role where you will bridge the gap between classroom supervision and student well-being.


You will provide essential cover for absent teachers while maintaining a high standard of pastoral care, ensuring that learning never stops and that vulnerable students receive the emotional and behavioural support they need to succeed.


Key Responsibilities*Classroom Cover: Lead pre-planned lessons across various subjects, ensuring a calm and productive environment in line with the academy’s behaviour policy.

*1:1 Support: Facilitate small-group interventions or "check-ins" to help students overcome barriers to learning.


What We Are Looking For*Experience: Previous experience working with young people (secondary age) in an educational, youth work, or coaching capacity.


*Resilience: The ability to handle challenging behaviour with a calm, firm, and fair approach.


*Adaptability: A professional who can pivot from classroom management to a 1:1 pastoral crisis at a moment’s notice.


*Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills to build rapport with students, parents, and the wider school community.


Why Join Our Blackpool Academy?*Professional Development: Gain invaluable experience in both classroom leadership and specialist pastoral care for those eyeing a future in teaching or social work.


*Supportive Culture: Join a robust team where student welfare is at the heart of everything we do.


*Community Impact: Directly influence the lives of young people in Blackpool during a critical stage of their education.
