What skills and experience we're looking for

Function of the post:

To manage and support students based in the Link classroom – this includes overseeing students’ learning provision as well as meeting and supporting their emotional needs. With the support of the SENDCo and Inclusion Leader, you will assess, support and review the needs of students identified as having significant anxiety, social, emotional and/or mental health (SEMH) difficulties which impact on their ability to access mainstream lesson(s) and school. Helping to develop their resilience, social interaction and engagement, you will support them to successfully transition to mainstream lessons so they can achieve their academic potential and develop greater resilience and strategies to manage their SEMH difficulties.

Principal Accountabilities:

1. Manage and co-ordinate the Link classroom under the guidance of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinator, ensuring an effective and engaging provision which has a positive impact on those students.

2. Establish a supportive relationship with students recognised as requiring Link provision, developing methods to enhance their resilience, ability to self-regulate and manage emotions.

3. Act as a mentor and guide to support students’ emotional well-being, in an engaging manner that will inspire, engage and progress their academic ability.

4. In line with the student’s needs, liaise with your line manager and appropriate teaching staff, academic and pastoral teams to develop a suitable programme and pace that will result in an improvement in the student’s social, emotional and mental health, enabling a managed return to mainstream lessons. Provide feedback on student’s progress as appropriate and necessary.

5. Engage, motivate and monitor students’ application to learning that enables students to achieve good standards of work, in line with school expectations, and a level of progress to assure successful transition back to mainstream lessons(s).

6. Complete the required administration and record keeping, ensuring records are accurate, current and files are secure and held in line with Academy and Trust policy and procedures.

7. Provide supervision at break times, as directed by your line manager, for the effective management of the provision.

8. Maintain a professional relationship at all times when liaising and working with parent/carers, internal and external professional colleagues for the benefit of the student and the Link provision.

9. Actively contribute to the enhancement of the policies, procedures and systems for the continual development and effectiveness of the Link classroom.
