We wish to appoint a committed, enthusiastic, and experienced Pastoral Practitioner to join our wonderful team. We are looking for someone who has adaptability, experience in behaviour support, and above all, someone who shares our ethos of putting the children at the centre of all we do.
Key Responsibilities:
* Promote, model, and reinforce the school’s relationship policy and expectations throughout all areas of school life.
* Identify and support pupils who are struggling with regulating their behaviour, and put in place targeted interventions.
* Accurately log incidents, analyse patterns, and report to SLT as required.
* Build positive relationships with families, keeping them informed and involved in supporting their child’s behaviour.
* Help develop staff confidence and consistency in implementing the school’s relationship policy.
Specific Duties:
* Support children, many with SEND or complex SEND, in times of a behaviour crisis, deescalating dysregulated behaviours alongside team members, whilst remaining calm and ensuring safety for all.
* Meet regularly with the Inclusion Team to discuss pupils who require support in social, emotional, and mental health, and work with the team to build capacity for wellbeing and mental health support within the school.
* Work with pupils in and out of the classroom, including those not on a normal timetable.
* Develop 1:1 mentoring arrangements, enabling pupils to set plans and targets, and assist in organising small group interventions under the guidance of the Inclusion Leader. This includes leading a lunchtime regulation club for children who find unstructured time challenging.
* Liaise with parents/carers within the role’s remit, recognizing class teachers as the first line of contact.
The successful candidate will work five days a week, 32.5 hours per week over 38 weeks per year (8:30-15:30).
