Inclusion Room Manager job summary

We are looking for an Inclusion Room Manager to lead a calm, structured environment supporting students with behavioural, SEND, or additional needs. You will oversee learning, monitor progress, maintain records, and work collaboratively with staff to promote inclusion and support successful reintegration into mainstream classrooms.

At AUEA, we believe that inclusion and personal development are inseparable. Every student has the right to learn in an environment that is calm, structured and fully inclusive, enabling them to develop the knowledge, character and professional behaviours they need for future success. This commitment is reflected in AUEA’s wider mission to ensure that all students receive ‘Knowledge for Life and Skills for the Future’ and are supported to grow through high expectations, personalised pathways and the development of employability values such as resilience, responsibility and respect.

Within this ethos, the Inclusion Room Manager holds a pivotal role. By leading a restorative, purposeful and well-structured space, the postholder ensures that students who require additional support continue to access an inclusive learning environment rather than being marginalised or excluded from the learning community. This function directly supports AUEA’s aim of fostering both professional and personal development in all learners, helping them regulate behaviour, rebuild relationships and reengage with their curriculum successfully.

The role therefore goes beyond supervision; it reinforces AUEA’s belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to reflect, reset and return to learning with dignity. By maintaining high standards, modelling professional conduct and working closely with pastoral and curriculum teams, the Inclusion Room Manager ensures that inclusion is not merely a principle but a daily lived reality for every student.
