Due to internal promotion, we are seeking to recruit a Safeguarding and Student Support Officer from September 2024.

This is a key post working at the centre of a strong and dynamic pastoral team supporting over 400 sixth form students at a key point in their lives. The core sixth form team comprises the Director of Sixth Form, who has overall responsibility of safeguarding, alongside two Heads of Year, an administration and support officer, and a second part-time student manager. 

We are looking for someone who has emotional intelligence, warmth and compassion, who can also be firm and fair when the situation requires. The role requires presence, adaptability and the ability to multi-task and prioritise - no two days are ever the same! As Safeguarding Officer, you would provide ongoing support to students with higher levels of pastoral need, as well as responding to safeguarding concerns that arise during the course of the school week, in collaboration with other members of the pastoral team. As Support Officer, you would be the 'first point of contact' in the sixth form pastoral hub, responding to queries of an enormously varied nature, as well as supporting the day-to-day operations of the sixth form. Tenacity, awareness, and an eye for detail are all useful characteristics in supporting staff and students to achieve their best and ensure Didcot Sixth Form is a fantastic environment.
