What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an Intervention Support Officer to work alongside the Head of Year with a relentless focus in providing the very best outcomes and experiences for students in their care.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and passionate about making a difference to the life chances of students. They will have experience of training in safeguarding or a desire to develop in this area. They will be able to be calm under pressure, work relationally with students, parents, staff and external agencies and have strong people skills and a desire to learn, sometimes in challenging situations. Ideally experience in using restorative methods to de-escalate and resolve difficulties would be an advantage. In summary a great Intervention Support Officer makes a positive difference to students by helping to keep them safe and ensuring students take personal responsibility for their learning progress.

We offer:

  • a welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff
  • a supportive working environment
