Job overview
To join The Henry Box School is to join a family – staff and students who have the courage to do things differently, if that’s what it takes.
Here we think deeply about how we can have the biggest impact on students. In a world where the algorithms of life give us more of the same, we believe education has the role to give children something different.
We are looking for a enthusiastic, flexible and incredibly positive Student Support Worker to join our Student Support Team (SST). The team is centred on the crucial link between the way in which children and young people learn and their social knowledge and behaviour, the focus is upon establishing positive relationships across three elements of self, others and curriculum. Behaviour has implications for students, teachers, parents and other professionals. Its principles are applied to all students and not just those perceived as being “difficult to manage”. It applies as much to teachers and their relationship with students as much as it applies to the students themselves.
If you are are interested in working in a forward thinking organisation, then Henry Box could well be the place for you. Professional Development is central to our work and we offer opportunities and support for all staff to develop their skills.
At The Henry Box School, we are fortunate to have fantastic staff, both teaching and support, and students who have positive attitudes and are keen to learn. Students and staff enjoy respectful relationships, and above all we are a very happy school. The school was inspected by Ofsted in November 2017 and was judged as ‘good’ in every category.
We are seeing to appoint the best possible candidate and our recruitment process will reflect our desire to undertake all possible measures to achieve this.
Applicants should download the support staff application form from our website. In addition to the completed application form please submit a letter of application that is no more than two sides of A4.
If you decide you want to be part of our dynamic team, we look forward to receiving your completed application form by our closing date.
Closing date: Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 9am.

Values and Vision
We believe that every child has the right to go to a good school and that every child should have the opportunity to transform their life, whatever their starting point. Five key questions underpin our vision of 'transforming lives through inspirational education':
Are we securing equity?
Is our leadership driving improvement?
Is our curriculum irrestible?
Are we research informed?
Are we managing resources effectively?
The Henry Box School is one of the founding schools of The Mill Academy Trust. Schools, staff and children within the Trust benefit from a strong ethos of support and collaboration. We also challenge ourselves to be even better, every day. We are not content with always doing what we've always done. The new educational landscape requires new ways of thinking, leading and operating and, at Henry Box, we aim to build on tradition and educate for the future.
