About the Role

Pastoral Managers at City of Birmingham School play a central role in creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for pupils with a wide range of social, emotional, and behavioural needs.

• Able to work independently and take initiative, using strong organisational and problem-solving skills to manage caseloads, implement interventions and monitor progress.
• Confident in analysing behaviour and pastoral data, using this to plan effective support and produce accurate records and reports.
• Committed to safeguarding and equality, consistently promoting safe practice, inclusive approaches, and high expectations for all pupils.
• Open to professional learning, willing to develop their expertise and contribute to staff training and the wider development of the school's pastoral provision.
