This role offers the opportunity to work closely with colleagues to support behaviour management and improvement systems, helping students to achieve their full potential.
You will join an established team of Behaviour Mentors and work collaboratively within an allocated year group team. You will use a variety of approaches including mentoring sessions, classroom support and reflection activities to help students refocus, learn to contain disruptive behaviours and get the best from their studies. There will be the opportunity to lead on a specialist area of focus and to have a role in training and developing other colleagues.

You must be able to motivate young people and build sound, professional relationships with them, within appropriate boundaries and confidentiality guidelines. In addition, your communication skills will ensure that you are able to meaningfully support parents/carers, and liaise effectively with a range of agencies and statutory bodies.
Successful applicants will have a genuine passion for working with and supporting young people. You will have good problem solving skills and sound judgement in handling challenging behaviours and investigating incidents. Your admin and IT skills will include attention to detail in planning, confidence with the use of software applications, and the ability to maintain accurate records and prioritise the submission of required reports.
If you match our ambition and want to join our dedicated team of professionals, we would love to hear from you. Candidates must address the person specification in no more than 1,000 words. Applications must be submitted via the TES portal.

About The City Academy, Hackney
At The City Academy, Hackney, we are dedicated to providing all the students in our community with the best possible educational opportunities. We believe excellence is achieved through three key ingredients: clear structures, high expectations and strong relationships.

We pride ourselves on being a school which offers young people an environment that enables them to meet our very high expectations. Our inspirational staff are skilled and committed and as a result of this, our students make exceptional progress.
In our academy, we expect students to work hard and to show dedication and commitment to their education. There are clear boundaries and rules which students must adhere to at all times.

We are part of the City of London Academies Trust, where we believe strongly in the transformational nature of education operating schools in areas of significant disadvantage. We understand that strong outcomes lead to improved life chances for our students, so we are unashamedly academic and unapologetically results driven. Each of our schools adopt a ‘warm/strict’ approach, combining high expectations with care and support. Our level of care means we never compromise on standards or expectations, ensuring that no student’s background becomes a reason for lowering the bar. Our schools maintain exemplary standards of behaviour, with systems, rituals and norms that instil strong habits. As a result, our schools provide an environment where our teachers can teach, and students can learn without disruption. We take great pride in fostering an exceptionally positive learning environment and we work meticulously to maintain our strong ethos and culture.
We combine the heritage and tradition of the Corporation of London with a genuinely innovative, enterprising, and entrepreneurial ethos.
