Reflection Room Manager job summary
Be the Difference. Shape Futures. Transform Behaviour.
At North Oxfordshire Academy, we are passionate about helping every student succeed. We believe that outstanding behaviour, strong relationships, and high expectations are the foundations of exceptional learning.
We are seeking an inspirational, resilient, and highly motivated Reflection Room Manager to lead one of the most important areas of our pastoral provision. This is more than a supervisory role. It is an opportunity to positively influence students' lives, helping them reflect on their choices, rebuild relationships, and successfully re-engage with their education.
If you have the confidence to inspire young people, the determination to maintain high standards, and the commitment to helping students overcome barriers to success, we would love to hear from you.

As our Reflection Room Manager, you will take ownership of a calm, purposeful environment where students are given the opportunity to reset, reflect, and return to learning ready to succeed.

What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and maintaining a calm, structured, and highly focused Reflection Room environment
- Supporting students to reflect on their behaviour, understand consequences, and make positive choices
- Working collaboratively with teaching staff to ensure students remain engaged in learning during their placement
- Designing and delivering targeted mentoring, intervention, and support programmes for students requiring additional guidance
- Tracking and analysing student behaviour and progress to help inform future interventions
- Supporting wider behaviour and pastoral systems across the academy, including responding to on-call incidents when required
- Building positive and professional relationships with students, parents, carers, and colleagues, promoting our firm-but-fair culture throughout the school
We're Looking For Someone Who:
✅ Has experience working with young people in education, pastoral care, youth work, or a similar setting
✅ Can confidently manage challenging behaviour while maintaining positive relationships
✅ Is calm under pressure, resilient, and solution-focused
✅ Has excellent communication, organisation, and record-keeping skills
✅ Believes every young person can succeed, regardless of their starting point
✅ Is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
