What skills and experience we're looking for

This role will involve leading and managing the school’s inclusion provision; supporting pupils who face challenges in accessing some or all of the mainstream curriculum. This role is pivotal in ensuring that all pupils, regardless of their individual needs or circumstances, are given the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. This is a new post, therefore it provides an exciting opportunity for the right person to shape and develop this very important provision within our unique and highly successful school.

The appointed candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the school to identify and remove barriers to learning, with the ultimate goal of reintegrating pupils into mainstream lessons as soon as possible.

In summary the role will include:

  • To set up and oversee the day-to-day running of the school inclusion hub.
  • To ensure those pupils attending the inclusion hub continue to access learning and make progress through the prescribed curriculum.
  • To oversee the pastoral care and academic progress of pupils in the inclusion hub.
  • To deliver behaviour workshops and interventions for pupils who are in the inclusion hub.
  • To work with pupils, and in partnership with parents, appropriate staff, and other agencies, to bring about improved behaviour and attendance.
  • To take on supervisory duties as determined by the school.

The successful applicant will:

  • Be flexible and caring.
  • Have excellent interpersonal skills.
  • Be committed to contributing as part of a successful team.
  • Be passionate about enabling every child to fulfil their potential.
  • Have a good sense of humour.
