We are seeking to appoint four inspirational and committed practitioners to join our Outreach Student and Family Engagement (SAFE) Team as part of an exciting pilot outreach programme working with partner primary schools across Key Stages 1 and 2. The location and operational area for the roles will be allocated and based within the four Surrey quadrants. This pilot project is designed to strengthen early intervention and inclusive practice, supporting children with emerging Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), behavioural, and pastoral needs.

The successful candidate will have a passion for supporting vulnerable young people to achieve their potential; experience of mentoring young people; a good all‑round knowledge of supporting the education of students with SEMH needs; excellent organisational skills; and a good sense of humour. A car and appropriate insurance are essential for this role.

• An outstanding practitioner with high expectations of pupils’ achievement and behaviour who is committed to providing high quality pastoral support.
• Able to maintain and drive forward outstanding standards whilst meeting the needs of a very vulnerable group of students.
• An excellent communicator who is able to work inclusively with students, staff, parents and external professionals.
