Boorley Park School is looking for two enthusiastic, innovative and approachable Inclusion Practitioners. These roles are of a temporary nature until August 2026 but the contracts could potentially be extended.
We are part of the RAISE Education Trust which comprises Wildern Secondary School, Deer Park Secondary School and Boorley Park School. Our staff form a collective team that makes a difference to the lives of our students.
The successful candidate will support the Inclusion Leader and the Senior Leadership Team to address the needs of children who need support to overcome barriers to learning both inside and outside school in order to achieve their full potential.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Immediately respond to radio calls from teaching and support staff across the school to support instances of disruptive dysregulation in classrooms or other learning areas.
- Make appropriate, swift professional judgments and dynamically risk assess each situation upon arrival to prioritise the safety of the child, other pupils and staff.
- Apply a repertoire of effective de-escalation and co-regulation techniques to help the child stabilise their emotional state in the moment.
- Provide the most effective regulation support in that specific moment, utilising knowledge of trauma-informed practice and sensory needs.
- Escort the dysregulated child calmly and safely to the designated Regulation Space when the classroom environment is no longer conducive to regulation.
- Maintain and model high and consistent expectations for the child throughout the entire support process, even during dysregulation and recovery.
- Lead the process of supporting the child's successful return to the classroom following a period of regulation, ensuring the child is calm and ready to re-engage with learning.
- Briefly liaise with the classroom teacher upon return to share key information (e.g., specific triggers, successful strategies used) to facilitate a smooth transition.
- Provide direct, explicit coaching to children on identifying their feelings, understanding their triggers, and practicing preferred regulation strategies.
- Ensure, alongside the class teacher, any missed learning is followed up and completed where appropriate.
- You will have very good interpersonal skills and be confident in dealing with students, staff and parents on a day-to-day basis.
Benefits of working for our trust include:
- Friendly and sociable colleagues.
- Staff membership rates to our modern Leisure Centre at Wildern School
- RAISE a Hand day: One day per academic year — a fully paid day off to support personal events.
- Two-week October half term: Providing staff and students with an extended break during the autumn term.
- Enrolment in one of the UK’s Largest public sector pension schemes.
- A tax efficient Cycle-to-Work scheme through salary sacrifice.

Boorley Park Primary School opened in September 2019.
We have two forms of entry and the school was built to fill the basic need for more school places as existing schools in the area are at capacity or oversubscribed. Our purpose built school provides a safe and nurturing environment for children and sits at the heart of the community in the new housing development at Boorley Green.
We are part of the Wildern Academy Trust which includes Wildern School, a further 7-form entry secondary school is planned to open September 2021. This is an exciting time for the trust and all colleagues present and future.
