Great Academy Ashton, part of Great Academies Education Trust, is seeking a calm, inspirational and motivating individual to join our team. At GAA, our mission is to improve the life chances of our young people by ensuring they achieve the best outcomes and are fully supported to realise their potential. We are committed to providing rich, high-quality experiences that enable all students to participate meaningfully in the life of the academy and contribute positively to the wider community. Appointing to the position of Isolation Manager (focussed on supporting small groups of students with their engagement studies and behaviour) is pivotal in delivering this aim.

The purpose of this role is to provide dedicated leadership and oversight of the academy’s isolation room, ensuring a safe, supportive and structured environment for students who have not met expected behaviour standards. The post holder will work as a key member of the Pastoral Team, modelling a relational and caring approach while supporting students to regulate their behaviour and successfully re-enter mainstream learning. This includes supervising curriculum and reflection activities, maintaining accurate records, monitoring behaviour trends, and ensuring the consistent application of the academy’s behaviour policy. The role also involves liaising with parents, external stakeholders and local schools to arrange placements, collaborating with Heads of Year and subject staff to maintain high-quality learning resources, and mentoring students with repeated incidents to promote positive behaviour, inclusion and engagement across the academy.

We are looking for a committed individual who shares our values of Genuine, Respect, Excellence, Achievement, and Togetherness (GREAT) and who can help us deliver on our mission. At GAA, we value our staff and are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive work environment. Here are just some of the benefits you can expect when you join our team:

• Extensive leadership and subject based CPD, including paid memberships of such professional bodies as The Chartered College of Teaching, The Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors membership and Subject Association memberships.

• Free health protection: we understand the importance of health and wellbeing, which is why we offer free health protection to all staff, including free NHS health checks and yearly flu vaccinations.

• Cycle to work scheme: We encourage sustainable transportation options by offering a cycle to work scheme.

• Wider personal benefits such as discounted eye tests, well-being clinics, dentistry, financial and legal advice.

• Paid bonuses for those staff who are markers for examination bodies

• Committed to supporting the well-being of our workforce, we are part of the DfE Workforce Wellbeing Charter, GAET have expanded this creating our own Wellbeing Charter. We have an Assistant Principal with a strategic lead for staff well-being. We have implemented several initiatives to reduce workload, including assessing the workload of new initiatives, reduced unnecessary communication through email protocols, have a staff well-being working group and we conduct regular well-being questionnaires to guide further improvements.

At GAA, we believe that happy and supported staff leads to better outcomes for our students.
