Behaviour Intervention Lead

We are looking for two highly motivated and compassionate Behaviour Intervention Leads to join our Outstanding School. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting young people, promoting positive behaviour and helping students overcome barriers to learning.

Working closely with students, families and staff, you will provide early intervention and targeted support to improve behaviour, attendance and engagement. You will play a key role in maintaining a safe, inclusive and purposeful learning environment, ensuring high expectations and positive outcomes for all students.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication and relationship-building skills, experience of working with young people, and the ability to remain calm and resilient when managing challenging situations. Experience of pastoral support, safeguarding or working with students with additional needs would be an advantage.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of young people while becoming part of a team committed to excellence, inclusion and student success.

We can offer the successful candidates an opportunity to work with highly trained and supportive staff, as well as a whole school commitment to professional development, since we believe that staff development is a fundamental aspect in raising standards further for our students.

Our school community is also a highly rewarding place to work. A comprehensive programme of CPD and a commitment to wellbeing supports colleagues at all career stages; through the School and the Trust, we provide excellent career opportunities for our staff. Colleagues seeking a varied, challenging and rewarding career can find this in the Wade Deacon family.

Wade Deacon High School is friendly, dynamic and innovative. Our latest OFSTED report from November 2022 described us as “an Outstanding School" in all areas, praising the school for providing pupils with a ‘first-rate education’ and an ‘aspirational curriculum’, describing pupils as ‘extremely happy’ and their behaviour as ‘exemplary’.

We pride ourselves on the quality and diversity of our curriculum, including our personal development and extracurricular provision which not only enable our students to enjoy their learning but also allows them to be able to meet the many challenges that they will face in the future, understanding the wider world and their place within it.

Above all else, we are a school that believes that every student, regardless of their context or starting point, can and should achieve their full potential. If you believe that you have the motivation, belief and leadership quality to contribute to our future success, we would welcome an application from you.
