Job description

Graduate Pastoral Assistants - Oldham
Long-Term, Full-Time Roles | Immediate Starts Available

Are you a Psychology graduate with a passion for education and supporting young people?

Aspire People are currently recruiting a bank of Graduate Pastoral Assistants to meet the high demand from our partner schools across Oldham. These schools are seeking dedicated and resilient graduates to provide pastoral and emotional support to students, particularly those with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs) and challenging behaviour.

This is an excellent opportunity for graduates with previous school-based experience who are ready to take the next step into a pastoral or wellbeing-focused role.

The Role:
* Support students with SEMH and behavioural needs on a 1:1 and small-group basis
* Work closely with the SENCo, Heads of Year, and pastoral teams to implement support strategies
* Build positive, trusting relationships with students to encourage engagement and personal growth
* Promote emotional wellbeing, resilience, and positive behaviour across the school community
* Monitor progress, support interventions, and contribute to a safe and inclusive learning environment

Requirements:
* A UK bachelor's degree in Psychology or a closely related field
* Previous experience working in a school setting - essential
* Understanding of safeguarding procedures and child protection
* Resilient, empathetic, and confident when managing challenging behaviour
* DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for a new one)
* References covering the last 2 years

Why Join Aspire People?
* Long-term, full-time placements in supportive schools
* Opportunities across a range of Multi-Academy Trusts
* Work with a dedicated consultant who listens and understands your career goals
* Competitive rates of pay based on experience
* Gain valuable experience in education and pastoral care - ideal for those pursuing a future in teaching, educational psychology, or counselling

If you're passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people and want to develop your career in pastoral education, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and join Aspire People's growing network of Graduate Pastoral Assistants supporting schools across Oldham.
