Student Support Manager
Required for September 2026

Are you energetic and compassionate and would like to make a real difference to young people?

We are looking to appoint a Student Support Manager who can make a real difference to young people.

Your key role will be to provide personal guidance and support to students, and you will be the first point of contact with students and parents concerning issues arising at school. You will be working with students who have a wide variety of pastoral needs including those who are disengaged, display challenging behaviour, or require emotional support.

You will work under the direction of the Heads of Year and the Assistant Headteacher (Behaviour and Attitudes) and will liaise with other teachers and support staff as appropriate.

We are looking for someone who can work on their own initiative to get things done, who is passionate about children and their well-being, and who can communicate well with students, parents and other adults.

Idsall School is a heavily oversubscribed 11-18 rural school with excellent facilities throughout the school. You will be joining the school at an exciting stage of its development.

We offer a welcoming, friendly, hard-working and committed team of colleagues whom, at all levels, are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care.

The Marches Academy Trust values each person equally. We are committed to building a diverse team and embedding a welcoming, inclusive culture that encourages diversity and authenticity. We believe this will encourage creative ways of thinking – ensuring we collaborate more effectively and achieve better outcomes. We welcome applicants from all qualified candidates who share this commitment.

Closing date for applications is midday on Monday 13th July 2026

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children in our care and expect all staff to share this commitment.
