The Friary School part of the Primitas Learning Partnership is a well-established academy, heavily over-subscribed, and nationally amongst the highest performing schools of its type. This status has very much been achieved over the last decade and our recent ungraded OFSTED Inspection Report (March 2024) stated that:

*A culture of high expectations permeates throughout, and pupils rise to this high bar willingly.

*Pupils achieve extremely well.

*Pupils’ behaviour and conduct are excellent.

*Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school.

*The school’s curriculum is highly ambitious.

*Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported extremely well.

*The wider development of pupils is exceptionally strong.

*The school’s careers programme is rich and varied.

*There is a plethora of opportunities for pupils to extend their learning beyond the classroom.

*The local governing body members have a strong understanding of the school.

The school places a strong emphasis on ensuring all students - whatever or wherever their starting point -achieve well, and though our cohorts enter the school slightly above national averages ability-wise, their subsequent outcomes consistently far outstrip this.

The Friary School also proudly and proactively serves the city of Lichfield, a treasure in the heart of Staffordshire. The centre retains an unspoilt charm with many listed buildings in its historic streets. Lichfield has a rich and vibrant history as well as offering cultural and entertaining activities all year round in its safe city and local communities. Being located in the heart of the country it benefits from excellent local and national transport links.

We are seeking to appoint a committed, proactive, enthusiastic and highly motivated Student Support Assistant to join our dedicated and caring pastoral team. This will involve building positive relationships with young people, providing guidance and support, promoting positive behaviour, and helping students to overcome barriers to learning. The role requires someone who is empathetic, resilient and approachable, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. We are looking for an individual with a genuine passion for supporting young people, a commitment to safeguarding, and a desire to help every student achieve their full potential both academically and personally.

You will be required to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK, evidence of your qualifications and suitable references.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 5th October 2026 at 12noon.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
