Skinners’ Academies Trust is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Pastoral Support Assistant to join a

team that participates in the development and implementation of strategies to maintain the highest standards of

student behaviour at Skinners’ Academy.

Skinners' Academy is an aspirational and inclusive community in which we expect staff and students to be the best they

can be. We support this goal by offering and environment characterised by high challenge and high support. We take

pride in our academically rigorous curriculum, our wide-ranging enrichment programme and our excellent pastoral

support systems. All of these ‘ingredients’ ensure that we provide a stimulating and rewarding working environment

for our staff and a rich and well-rounded educational experience to our students. We want our students to excel and

recognise that, to achieve this, they need the input of a highly skilled and motivated staff body. As such, we seek to

invest in our staff – our most valuable resource – to support their ongoing professional development and equip them

with the expertise to facilitate students’ learning and personal development to the highest level.

You will be a highly motivated professional who enjoys working as part of a high performing team. You will be just as

committed to supporting others to achieve their full potential as you are to achieving personal progress and success.

You will have an ethical commitment to inclusive education and will enjoy the challenges and rewards of working in a

diverse school community that serves students from many different backgrounds. Regardless of students’ backgrounds,

you will hold nothing but the highest of aspirations and expectations of them and will be wholly committed to ensuring

that their experience of education is characterised by success. If this sounds like you, we welcome your application and

hope you will become a valued member of the Skinners’ community.
