As Student Support Team Leader at Stanmore College, you will play a key role in leading the teams that provide frontline support, helping to create an environment where students can thrive both personally and academically.

We are looking for an experienced and proactive leader who can motivate and develop staff, build strong relationships across the College, and ensure students receive timely, effective support. Through your leadership, you will help promote wellbeing, positive engagement, safeguarding, and attendance, making a meaningful contribution to the overall student experience.

Join Us at an Exciting Time

Stanmore College is entering a transformative period, supported by a £60 million redevelopment investment that will create a modern, sustainable campus for learners, staff, and the wider community.

Alongside significant investment in our facilities, we continue to strengthen the support services that enable learners to thrive. As a part of our Student Services team, you will play an important role in shaping a positive and inclusive College environment where every learner has the opportunity to succeed.

The Role

Working within Student Services, you will lead the Student Advice & Safeguarding and Student Liaison teams, ensuring the delivery of high-quality support services that promote student wellbeing, engagement, attendance, and safeguarding.

You will:

• Lead, motivate, and support a team of Student Support professionals, ensuring consistent, high-quality support for learners.
• Coordinate safeguarding, wellbeing, attendance, and pastoral interventions, ensuring students receive timely and appropriate support.
• Work collaboratively with curriculum teams, parents/carers, and external agencies to remove barriers to learning and improve student outcomes.
• Monitor team performance, analyse data, and contribute to the continuous improvement of student support services.
• Act as a Safeguarding Officer, responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns and supporting a safe and inclusive College environment.

Why This Role Matters?

Strong student support is fundamental to learner success. This role plays a key part in ensuring students receive the guidance, intervention, and encouragement they need to remain engaged, achieve their qualifications, and progress confidently into their next steps.

By leading an experienced team and working collaboratively across the College, you will help create an environment where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
