2 weeks ago


Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom Chichester Free School Full time

We are seeking an enthusiastic and rigorous practitioner with the energy, passion and creativity to work as a Behaviour Support Officer in the Secondary phase of our thriving All-Through school. This opportunity is for a term time position, working five days a week from 8.00am till 3.30pm. The successful applicant will work alongside our highly effective and innovative pastoral team providing proactive and consistent support to the students working in our Internal Exclusion Room as well as working alongside colleagues in our Alternative Provision (Eagle Point) and our Behaviour Manager.

CFS is a vibrant, collaborative and forward-thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. Our values of 'nurture, challenge and inspire' influence everything we do as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of school life. If you share our values and ideals, we strongly encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website

Whilst this is a Secondary post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleagues from both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners.

CFS follows national pay scales and the starting point within the range listed will be agreed on appointment with the successful candidate.

The Pastoral Team

The Pastoral support at Chichester Free School has been described as 'second to none' by external observers. Ofsted rated our behaviour as 'Good' in our February 2019 inspection and we have driven forward significant improvements since then. However, we are now striving to be 'Outstanding' in this area, and the team are passionate in their relentless pursuit of this high standard.

The team is overseen by our Deputy Head of Secondary with responsibility for Behaviour and Standards. Heads of Year, together with their respective Assistant Heads of Year, support all pupils in the School and work together effectively as a team. They are also supported and work collaboratively with the Therapeutic Interventions Officer, Behaviour Manager, Head of Alternative Provision and Attendance Officer working together to ensure that every student in the School is nurtured, challenged, and inspired. We are privileged to have dedicated pastoral offices, intervention rooms and inclusion spaces in our new state of the art facilities on the Hunston Road. The successful candidate will be directly line-managed by our Head of Alternative Provision.

This is a very supportive department, who enjoy working both independently as well as part of a team, working closely with both teaching and support staff as well as parents/carers and external agencies.
