Place of work 

An exciting opportunity has become available for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Behaviour Support Officer to join our highly effective pastoral team.

This is a newly developed role which involves leading and managing our “Reset Room”, supporting students who have been removed from lessons and facilitating restorative conversations to improve behaviour and readiness to learn. It also includes responding to lesson callouts, maintaining accurate records on Arbor, communicating with parents and staff, issuing detentions, and analysing behaviour data.

The role also includes responsibility for leading Early Help Assessments (EHAs) and coordinating multi-agency support where appropriate. 

Successful candidates will have experience of dealing with young people, be proactive, flexible individuals who have excellent verbal, written and interpersonal skills and who are able to work on their own initiative as well as part of a team in a sometimes-pressurised environment.

Knowledge of restorative practices would also be beneficial.
