What skills and experience we're looking for
Drake Primary School has a unique opportunity for an excellent practitioner to work alongside our Pastoral Team and Relationships and Culture Lead as a Lead Relationships Practitioner.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a trained and experienced practitioner to develop their skills, focusing on relationships, behaviour and SEMH across the school.
You will be joining an innovative, trail-blazing team and playing a role in the success and implementation of the Relationships Policy and how this will influence our school culture moving forward. We believe that strong, secure relationships are the key to positive behaviour, with an attitude of ‘unconditional positive regard’ for all of our pupils. We are looking for a resilient and nurturing professional to implement our trauma informed, holistic approaches and to support our SEMH practitioner to deliver provision to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of our pupils.
The main responsibilities are;
- Leading and managing the delivery on interventions across the school.

- Working collaboratively within the Pastoral Team to ensure Relationships and Behaviour are regularly monitored and reviewed.
- Working collaboratively with parents to build trusting home/school relationships, including the monitoring of Pastoral Support Plans (PSPs) by attending PSP meetings and supporting the class team with target setting and reviews.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across the school, including modelling high standards of practice within the classrooms and supporting class teachers to plan using the Boxall Profile.
- Leading the support for pupils with medical needs, including reviewing healthcare plans and chairing the medical council.
- Supporting during less structured times of the school day e.g. playtimes, to model positive SEMH skills and to support with the mediation of any peer conflict.
- Oversee the implementation of interventions, including communication with parents, ensuring key documentation is completed and handovers are scheduled and up to date.
- Covering whole classes as a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA).
- Attending Pastoral meetings when directed to do so by the Pastoral Lead.
