Jobs

Required from September 2026

We are looking for an Education Welfare Officer to work with our pastoral team. The objective of the team is to ensure the highest possible standards of progress, achievement, attendance, behaviour and wellbeing of a cohort of students. Your role will include working with students and parents to ensure students are accessing education fully and barriers to learning are addressed and removed. You will work with school staff and other agencies to address family needs that impact on students’ behaviour, attendance and progress at school.  This is a non-teaching role.

Central to the success of our school is a team that works hard for the students and each other. We take a sensible approach to workload and consequently our staff are well motivated and enjoy coming to work.  As our name implies, the school lies at the heart of its community.  As a result of high expectations, enthusiastic teaching and very positive relationships, students enjoy school and want to do well.  Belmont has a track record of excellent academic results, outstanding student welfare and great staff wellbeing.  

We have fantastic facilities within our newly built school and offer an excellent induction programme with wider opportunities to develop and contribute to school life.

Quite simply, Belmont is a great place to work!  If you are considering this opportunity, we strongly advise getting in touch for an informal chat with the Headteacher as we have low staff turnover and jobs do not come up very often. 

Details are also available via the links below or alternatively contact Elaine Morgan on 0191 3865715. Please note we do not accept CV’s. Application forms can be downloaded and returned via email to e.morgan@belmontschool.org.uk or posted to school.

Closing date:  Monday 6th July 2026 at 9.00am
Interview date:  WB 13th July 2026

“To protect the public, the post for which application is being made is exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975. It is not, therefore, in any way contrary to the Act to reveal any information you may have concerning convictions which would otherwise be considered as “spent” in relation to this application and which you consider relevant to the applicant’s suitability for employment. Any such information will be kept in strictest confidence and used only in consideration of the suitability of this applicant for a position where such an exemption is appropriate”. 

IMPORTANT - Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
• Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
• Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
• Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:

Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments

Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
