We are seeking to appoint a Student Wellbeing Manager (SWM) to act as a caring and consistent champion for young people, supporting students in achieving their academic and personal potential. The role includes providing cover for absent teachers as part of the SWM team. The post will be for 22 hours per week (over three days) and 39 weeks (term time + 22 hrs to be worked across INSET days).
The post is a job share with another part-time member of staff and working the above pattern.
This post would suit a candidate who genuinely likes working with young people, helping and supporting them to succeed and reducing barriers to learning. The post provides valuable experience as a route into teaching. Experience of working in a school environment would be an advantage but is not essential.
Our collaborative ethos of Aspiration, Opportunity and Integrity are at the heart of Fitzharrys’ sustained success. We are a good school (Ofsted, April 2023) with strong results that improve year on year. Ofsted praised how “Pupils proudly show the school values of ‘aspiration, opportunity, integrity’.” This is a very special place, and we are looking for the right candidate who is excited at the prospect of joining us and taking such a key role in our continued success.
All Fitzharrys staff benefit from our induction programme and our comprehensive CPD programme as part of a school community committed to getting the best from everyone. Through our focus on high quality teaching and learning, and excellent behaviour, our school continues to grow and develop.
We are proud of our students, and in turn they are proud to be part of the Fitzharrys community. Parents are supportive of the work of the school, recognising our high aspirations for every student who attends; they are both challenged to achieve highly, and supported in doing so.
This is an exciting time to join us in our continued development. If you are committed to working with us and helping our pupils and students realise their potential, we encourage you to apply.
