Function of the post:

To use psychological principles to help support whole school behaviour management systems, you will undertake a key role in supporting our students' wellbeing and learning. You will ensure target groups of students are supported to remain and have success in class through our on-call rota system. Time will be spent in our reflection room, working with our Reflection Room Manager to ensure the room is calm and purposeful for students, using your psychology knowledge on behaviour and mental health. New attendees to the reflection room will be triaged to make a successful return to class.

You will also work closely with students presenting challenging behaviours to understand the reasoning behind them and help them develop more positive behaviours in school. We are looking for people who can help us maintain our safe, calm, and purposeful learning environment. They will have the ability to remain composed when students become unregulated. They are naturally calm, and enjoy working with students daily. They would be relentless in their efforts to unpick any barriers a student has to overcome their individual barriers to successful learning.
