About the Post

We are looking to appoint a value-driven and aspirational colleague to join our pastoral team. Our Behaviour Support Officer is central to the range of support we offer students who may be finding school challenging for a range of reasons. We are an inclusive school and believe that every child deserves the very best education and pastoral care possible in order for them to succeed.

This role works closely alongside our Heads of Year and Student Support Team providing operational support for our “learn and behave” facility as well as opportunities to work with individual students. It is expected that there will be career-development opportunities within the role as we seek to respond positively to the national challenges facing schools currently.

What we can offer you

• Work alongside a values-driven team with a vision for high-quality, inclusive education
• Strong support systems and structures and a highly supportive and visible leadership team
• An opportunity to work within a heavily oversubscribed and well-regarded school
• The chance to shape and develop the role with significant responsbility
• Working with some of the best young people you could ever come across!
• Automatic membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme

• Provide day-to-day operational management of the school “learn and behave” facility
• Support students who present with challenging behaviour to access their education
• Assist with the day-to-day management of the ‘on-call’ and detention system
• On occasions, work one to one with individual students as a mentor
• Promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in accordance with our Safeguarding and Child Protection policies.

You are likely to be someone who has or has the potential to have:

• A belief in the potential of all young people
• An understanding of the principles of child development, in particular potential barriers to learning
• An ability to build relationships with children and in particular motivate children to engage in their learning
• Experience of an understanding of de-escalating situations and making quick decisions about triaging situations.
