We have a very rare and exciting opportunity for an Inclusion and Intervention Specialist to join our pastoral team. This is a rewarding opportunity for a passionate, resilient, and student-centred professional who believes that every young person can succeed with the right support, guidance, and challenge. You will play a vital role in helping students overcome barriers to learning, build positive relationships, and achieve success both academically and personally. At the heart of this role is the leadership and day-to-day management of our Direction Room, a specialist behaviour and inclusion provision designed to support students in reflecting on their choices, rebuilding relationships, and successfully re-engaging with learning.
Our Direction Room is far more than a traditional behaviour provision. It provides a structured, calm, and supportive environment where students receive mentoring, restorative support, and personalised interventions that help them develop self-regulation, resilience, and positive behaviours for learning. Working closely with senior leaders, pastoral teams, families, and external agencies, you will deliver targeted interventions that empower students to thrive and reach their full potential.
