- Liaise with external agencies and specialists to support pupils with additional needs.
- Support the coordination and daily operation of behaviour systems, including the Reset Room, Centralised Detentions, Lesson On-Call, Personalised Support Plans (PSPs), behaviour interventions and mentoring programmes.
- Contribute to data monitoring and reporting related to behaviour, attendance and inclusion, as directed by the Inclusion Manager.
- Day to day behaviour management support and support staff with behaviour management.
Key Requirements:
- Ideally educated to degree level in an education-related or relevant field.
- A strong commitment to fairness, consistency and positive relationships with children.
- Previous experience working with pupils requiring behavioural or pastoral support.
