Woodford is an energising and rewarding school in which to work. Life here blends the very new with the very traditional.

The atmosphere is vibrant, purposeful and very friendly and the school community is strong, cohesive and valued by its members.


Our focus is the students we serve - their academic progress, their wellbeing, their confidence and their enjoyment of school.

The Welfare Team we have developed over the past five years is accommodated together on our "Welfare Corridor", enabling holistic support of students and their needs.

A key player on that team of professionals is our Student Guidance Officer (SGO) with the specialist remit of promoting and maintaining in our students the highest standards of behaviour and supporting those who are in any way vulnerable or at risk.

The person appointed will have the confidence and experience to deal kindly but firmly with young people, recognising varying needs and exercising judgement in making decisions.

The SGO is supported by a Student Guidance Assistant (SGA). The ability to maintain a high level of professional confidentiality is a prerequisite.

This will be a varied role, comprising, but not confined to:

  • providing a first response to urgent situations involving students
- conducting any necessary investigations or interviews
- liaising with colleagues to provide ongoing support to students in personal difficulties
- supporting students in implementing agreed strategies
- acting as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) and providing confidential support to the DSL
- providing first aid (as one of a team of trained first aiders)


Experience of working in a public service environment (social work, education, police, or equivalent) is desirable though not necessarily essential.

Training, including First Aid and Safeguarding, will be provided as required.

  • The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment._
