Job Summary
You will have familiarity with working with managing colleagues and collaborating with colleagues to deliver an efficient provision to students who are learning outside of mainstream lessons for a short period of time.

You will have experience working with young people exhibiting challenging behaviour, many of whom may be disaffected with school and lack motivation and aspiration. You will also have significant experience working with students on the SEND Register. You will have high expectations, respect for others, a no-nonsense approach to student behaviour, the ability to be flexible to meet the students’ needs, and a commitment towards motivating a small group of students to achieve. It is imperative that the ethos of the Academy is upheld within the Behaviour Support Unit.
An excellent attendance record, good interpersonal skills and the ability to work as part of a team are all essential to this role.
If you are passionate about innovative education, have a commitment to personal excellence and are ready for a new challenge, we welcome your application.
