An exciting opportunity has become available for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Behaviour Support Officer to join our highly effective pastoral team.

Additionally, the role provides 1:1 mentoring and group interventions, supports pastoral care and safeguarding processes, and promotes a positive school culture through rewards initiatives and recognition of student achievements. The role also includes responsibility for leading Early Help Assessments (EHAs) and coordinating multi-agency support where appropriate.
