Salary: £26,228 - £27,593 | Full Time (40 hours/week)

Purpose of Role

To support pupils’ emotional wellbeing, behaviour and mental health through the delivery of targeted, structured pastoral interventions. The role focuses on helping pupils develop emotional regulation, engagement and readiness to learn. This is a specialist support role within the pastoral team, contributing to a proactive, trauma-informed approach to behaviour and wellbeing.

The Pastoral Assistant supports pupils through planned interventions and responsive support, working to reduce barriers to learning and improve overall outcomes. This is a specialist role focused on delivering targeted interventions with clear, measurable outcomes, rather than providing only general classroom support.

At Lexden Hall School

Deliver targeted pastoral interventions to individuals and small groups, including
emotional regulation, social skills and wellbeing programmes
Support pupils in developing strategies to manage behaviour, emotions and
relationships
Contribute to the delivery of structured therapeutic approaches (e.g. ELSA, Drawing
and Talking, Lego Therapy)
Use de-escalation strategies to respond effectively to emerging behaviours at early
stages of dysregulation
Support the implementation of attendance interventions, working with pupils to address barriers to regular school attendance
Work with the Pastoral Lead to identify pupils with poor or declining attendance and provide targeted support
Deliver interventions aimed at improving engagement, motivation and readiness to attend school; monitoring and recording progress within interventions approaches where needed
Provide feedback to the Pastoral Lead and wider staff team on pupil progress and
emerging needs
Support reintegration into lessons and promote sustained engagement with learning
Act as part of a responsive pastoral team, supporting across the school as needs arise
Provide crisis response and support during periods of heightened need
Support with home and off-site provision as needed
Contribution to classroom support as needed
Support pupils to develop independence, confidence and resilience
