The St John Paul II Multi Academy is a highly successful Catholic Multi Academy encompassing seven primary schools and two secondary schools. Our schools are based in Sutton Coldfield, Erdington, and Aston.

The ethos of St John Paul II Multi Academy is Catholic and was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families.

As a Catholic multi academy, we aim to provide a Catholic education for all our pupils. As a Catholic multi academy, Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every aspect of every one of our school’s activities. It is essential that the Catholic character of the school’s education be fully supported by all staff within the multi academy. We therefore hope that all staff will give their full, unreserved, and positive support for the aims and ethos of the St John Paul II Multi Academy.

St Edmund Campion Catholic School is looking to appoint a Pastoral Assistant from September 2022. This role will provide a specialist service, with its main focus on the Post-16 students in the school, within the wider pastoral and administration team, to support the school in delivering on its Behaviour for Learning policy to ensure that all pupils are

able to be academically successful and are well supported in this.

St Edmund Campion Catholic School is a large 11-19 secondary school located in the north of Birmingham predominantly but not exclusively serving the Erdington community.

We are looking to appoint a welcoming, professional, and experienced person to fulfil this important role. The position is to start in September 2022.

Whilst experience working in a school environment is desirable, it is not essential. Governors wish to appoint someone who:

• has a positive outlook and a good work ethic

• will contribute to the school ethos, values, and mission statement

• will communicate effectively with parents, pupils, visitors, and staff

• has high expectations for all pupils and is able to relate well to pupils in a calm and authoritative manner

• remains calm and positive under pressure

• can work with minimum supervision and as part of a team

• will use initiative to support the Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team, Director of Post-16 and school staff

• has good levels of literacy and ICT skills

• has experience of supervising Post 16 students and maintaining a positive and professional learning environment

The Council is a fantastic place to work. You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence. 

There is a clear vision which is ensuring that the Council is working for communities today and building for tomorrow, we focus our resources on five key priorities:

  • A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
  • An Inclusive Birmingham: through a focus on tackling poverty and inequality, empowering citizens, promoting diversity and civic pride, and supporting and enabling all children and young people to thrive.
  • A Safe Birmingham: through a focus on making the city safer, safeguarding vulnerable citizens, increasing affordable housing, and tackling homelessness.
  • A Healthy Birmingham: through a focus on tackling health inequalities, encouraging physical activity and healthy living, supporting mental health, and improving outcomes for adults with disabilities and older people.
  • A Green Birmingham: through a focus on street cleanliness, improving air quality, continuing the route to net zero, and becoming a city of nature.

We see the Council’s role as providing strategic leadership – that’s being able to visualise a new future for the city and equipping others to share our vision. We want to ensure the provision of services for all, so we can support those least able to support themselves by working with partners and putting citizens and neighbourhoods at the heart of our decision-making.

We are always looking for people who put the customer at the centre of their approach, with a commitment to excellence to help us achieve our vision.  We will support you to develop and thrive in your role, building a pathway for long-term success, with lots of development opportunities, such as apprenticeships.
