Student Support Officer job summary
Our Student Support Officers work within our inclusion
team to provide early help and support so that we can ensure the very best
outcomes and wellbeing for our students and the community. This involves
working with individual students, small groups and their families in a solution
focussed way, to help them achieve, grow and develop.
Our Student Support Officer role will be primarily focused
on working with the small group of students taken out of the mainstream
learning environment on a day-to-day basis. These students may have been
removed for a number of behavioural reasons and continue their learning in a
smaller, controlled environment. Our Student Support Officers will work with
these students to both assist with their studies and also try and identify
their triggers, so we can work with them to better support their personal
learning journey in the mainstream academy environment.
Excellent communication and people skills are
essential, being able to speak to students on their level and find a common
ground and mutual respect. You should also have a detailed knowledge of
safeguarding, early help and inclusion issues, including a toolkit to provide
support. You will be part of a caring and nurturing team who want the very best
for our young people.
This role forms part of the wider inclusion team at
Kettering Science Academy, consisting of a wide range of professionals
including Student Support Officers, Teaching Assistants, School Counsellor and
the Safeguarding Team. Together we work to support our students and their
families with positive outcomes and help deliver the schools ethos of ‘being
the best you can be’ through Knowledge, Strength and Ambition.
This role is term time only, therefore 39 working weeks per year. Your working hours will be 8am – 4pm Monday to Thursday and 8am – 3.30pm Friday.
What we
can offer you
· Daily allowance for breakfast and
lunch.
· A modern building with fantastic
facilities and resources.
· A supportive and friendly community of
staff and students.
· A full induction programme.
· Access to BWT Ambition Hub training and
development programmes.
