• Encouraging an inclusive, respectful, and engaging classroom experience for all learners

What We’re Looking For:

• A calm, empathetic, and professional approach to behaviour management
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• A proactive, solution-driven mindset with the ability to remain composed under pressure
• Relevant training or qualifications in behaviour support or SEND (desirable but not essential)

What the School Offers:

• A welcoming and supportive school community with a strong pastoral ethos
• Ongoing training and CPD opportunities to support your professional growth
• A collaborative working environment where every staff member is valued
• The chance to make a meaningful impact on pupils’ lives every day
