Student Support Coordinator

35.5 hours per week, 40 weeks per year (term time plus two weeks)

To commence September 2026

Fixed Term Contract- Maternity Cover

We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our dynamic pastoral team working closely with students, our Heads of Year and SLT, providing them with administrative and organization support, as well as being a first point of contact for parents/carers. The role contributes significantly to the excellent pastoral support network operating across the school working to ensure that students are able to develop resilience and achieve success. We are looking for someone on a fixed term basis to cover a period of maternity leave from September 2026.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about pastoral care, a strong team player, and committed to achieving positive outcomes. They will be able to build effective and strong relationships with colleagues, students and parents/carers. The person appointed will work closely alongside our highly experienced Student Support Manager and Pastoral Lead who will provide guidance and support within the role. Excellent communication and IT skills are required together with a calm, resilient and organised approach, (plus a willingness to obtain a first aid qualification, if not already held). Previous experience operating in a similar environment and providing strong pastoral care as well as administrative support is advantageous, but training will be provided for the right candidate with transferable experience/skills.

Hinchley Wood is a state comprehensive which is an inclusive and high achieving school. We are based in Esher, Surrey on the borders of SW London. We celebrate students’ holistic progress and development as well as academic achievement and are very proud to be one of the top 200 performing schools in England and Wales. We have over 1400 students on roll including over 300 students in our Sixth Form. An Ofsted inspection in September 2023 judged us to be “outstanding” stating that, ‘Pastoral care is excellent… delivering knowledgeable, swift and appropriate action’ and ‘the development of pupils’ character is exemplary.’
