Swaythling Primary School “In this school, all are welcome, all are different.” – Ofsted, Feb 2025
After 12 years of dedicated service, our current Family Support Officer is retiring. We are now seeking a resilient, empathetic, and organized individual to join our team in this crucial job share role.
The Role
Based at our heart – the school reception you will be the first point of contact for families. You will play a vital part in driving our school forward by ensuring every child is safe, present, and ready to thrive. Your day will range from greeting families and managing attendance data to supporting parents through complex challenges like housing, mental health, and financial worries.
Who You Are
You are a “people person” with a calm approach? You can hold honest, sometimes challenging conversations for example about attendance, while remaining a supportive ally for families in need?
Key Skills
High expectations, GCSE English/Maths (Grade C+), and strong IT literacy (Arbor training provided).
The Essentials
A deep understanding of safeguarding, the ability to work independently, and a positive “can-do” attitude.
The Bonus
A local understanding of our community and, importantly, a sense of humour!
Why Swaythling Primary?
We offer a warm, caring ethos, well-motivated children, and a leadership team genuinely committed to your professional development. You will join a skilled team where you aren’t just an employee – you’re a key part of our families’ success stories.
