Our intake numbers continue to increase, we remain oversubscribed, and we are committed to ensuring that every student receives the highest quality education. 

We have an enhanced Inclusion provision and Inclusion department. The provision operates as part of a wider curriculum offering support to students that require extra support across 3 designed rooms and interventions.   

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic School Behaviour Coach to work within our Inclusion Department to support students with behavioural needs. You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the room under the direction of the Internal Alternative Provision Lead and SENDCO.

This will include the delivery of a range of re-tracking and reconnection intervention packages that will help these students engage in education.

Applicants must have proven literacy and numeracy skills, equivalent to GCSE Grade C/4 and above.  Written communication must be a particular strength.

• a positive and optimistic working environment focused on staff well-being, student welfare, progress and high standards of achievement and behaviour;
• personal career development to assist you in the fulfilment of your ambitions;
• a well-equipped campus with excellent gym and swimming facilities run by Everyone Active which staff can take advantage of for free. Access to leisure and sports classes at heavily discounted membership rates and preferential rates for family members;
