What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for an inspiring Behaviour Support Lead to provide outstanding support and management of the school’s removal space for students not meeting behaviour expectations. This is a key role for the Academy in fulfilling its commitment to develop “the heart” of the school. You will be promoting positive behaviour and supporting student wellbeing in the Lincoln Room and also across the academy. You will work closely with the school’s Behaviour Lead to ensure consistently high expectations both in the removal space and across the school more broadly.
At Trinity Academy we have very high expectations of our students. In order to maintain high levels of focus on learning and excellent conduct around school, students are occasionally removed from lessons and/ or social times to spend some time in the ‘Lincoln Room’ (a removal space for students not meeting behaviour expectations).
As Behaviour Support Leader, you will embrace the values and high expectations of Trinity Academy, promoting positive behaviour and supporting student wellbeing in the Lincoln Room and also across the academy.
The post holder will ensure the Lincoln Room is a safe, regulating space that provides short term support for our students. This will involve ensuring highly consistent expectations in the room, running tight tracking systems and coordinating completion of academic work.
About You
You are likely to have gained experience in working with young people in a school setting and have a track record of impact through your career or personal experience. You will be able to bring to us a drive and determination to ensure that every student is supported in meeting the school’s high expectations. You will need to provide strategic leadership, be able to hold others accountable, have great people skills and deeply care for all young people.
Please see the attached job description and person specification for more details.
