How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?

At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.

That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.

Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.

Job title:  Pastoral Support Worker

Location: Smallbrook School, Shrewsbury, SY4 3HE

Salary:     £25,500 per annum (Not pro rata)

Hours:     37.5 hours per week | Monday to Friday | 08:45 - 16:20

Contract: Permanent, Term time only

Start Date: December 2025

UK Applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

At Smallbrook School, we do more than teach – we nurture, empower, and champion young people with diverse and complex needs. As part of our continued growth, we’re thrilled to offer a fantastic opportunity for a passionate Pastoral Support Worker to join our dedicated and close-knit team.

This isn’t just a job. It’s a mission: to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every pupil is heard, respected, and supported to thrive — academically, emotionally, and socially.

About the Role

As a Pastoral Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in the daily life of our school, becoming a trusted adult and a calm, consistent presence for our students. You’ll work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, families, and external professionals to break down barriers to learning, promote positive behaviours, and champion the wellbeing of every child in your care.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Reporting to SLT on patterns in pupil behaviour and contributing to whole-school strategies for wellbeing and behaviour.
• Supporting students with reintegration following absences or incidents — helping them feel safe, seen, and supported.
• Implementing positive behaviour support strategies and modelling effective interventions.
• Using our online behaviour management system to accurately log and monitor pupil progress.
• Responding swiftly to on-call requests to provide in-class support when needed.
• Collaborating with teaching staff to maintain consistent approaches to engagement and regulation.
• Helping students meet personal goals and build their confidence, self-regulation, and independence.
• Acting as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Person and championing a strong safeguarding culture.
• Sharing best practice and supporting CPD, helping to shape a staff team that is confident, capable, and compassionate.

Who We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for someone who brings more than just experience — we’re looking for someone with heart.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Deeply passionate about supporting young people with additional needs.
• Calm under pressure and quick to respond with empathy and professionalism.
• A natural communicator who builds strong relationships with students, staff, and families.
• A reflective practitioner, always looking to grow, learn, and improve.
• Resilient, reliable, and ready to be a role model every day.

• A calm, patient, and consistent approach — even in challenging moments
• Strong communication, organisation, and teamwork skills
• Experience working in a SEND or SEMH setting (desirable)
• Understanding of, or willingness to adopt, trauma-informed approaches
• A genuine belief in the potential of every learner to succeed
