Pastoral Manager

Smile Education is proud to be working in partnership with a welcoming and ambitious secondary school in Redditch, part of the Bordesley Trust, who are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Pastoral Manager to join their team from February 2026, or sooner for the right candidate.

This is a rewarding opportunity for an individual who is passionate about student wellbeing, behaviour, and personal development, and who thrives on making a meaningful difference in young people's lives.

As a Pastoral Manager, you will:

• Provide high-quality pastoral support to students, promoting positive behaviour, attendance, and wellbeing
• Act as a key point of contact for students, families, and external agencies
• Support students with social, emotional, and behavioural needs, helping them overcome barriers to learning
• Work closely with teaching staff, senior leaders, and safeguarding teams to ensure students feel safe, supported, and valued
• Monitor progress, behaviour, and attendance, implementing interventions where needed

• Proven experience in a pastoral, inclusion, or student support role within a secondary school
• A strong understanding of safeguarding, behaviour management, and student wellbeing
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A calm, empathetic, and resilient approach when supporting young people
• A genuine commitment to helping students thrive both academically and personally

Experience working within a multi-academy trust or similar setting would be beneficial, but not essential.

If this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, we'd love to hear from you!
