  • Collaboration with Staff: Work closely with teaching staff, the school's pastoral team, and parents/carers to develop tailored support plans for students, ensuring a holistic approach to each young person's development.
  • Monitoring and Reporting: Keep detailed records of student progress, noting behavioural improvements or any concerns, and report these to relevant staff members to ensure timely interventions.
  • Safeguarding: Ensure that all safeguarding procedures are followed, maintaining the safety and well-being of all students in your care.
  • Extra-curricular Support: Assist with the delivery of after-school activities or additional support sessions aimed at building student confidence and social skills.

Requirements:

  • Empathy and Patience: A compassionate and non-judgmental approach, with a deep understanding of the challenges young people may face, particularly in relation to mental health, social issues, and behaviour.
  • Proactive and Organised: The ability to manage a varied workload, take initiative, and respond to students' needs in a timely and effective manner.
  • Team Player: The ability to work collaboratively with other staff members, including teachers, pastoral leads, and external agencies, to ensure a consistent approach to student support.
