Leading and maintaining robust safeguarding and pastoral systems
Coaching, supporting and developing staff to promote consistent practice
Building strong relationships with pupils, families and external agencies
Leading reintegration, intervention and personalised support pathways
Contributing to whole-school improvement as a key member of the Senior Leadership Team

Degree qualified in Education, Psychology, or a related field
An inspirational and confident leader with experience in behaviour, pastoral or SEND leadership
Passionate about creating inclusive environments where every child can succeed
Skilled in trauma-informed practice, emotional regulation and behaviour support
An exceptional communicator who builds positive relationships easily
Calm, resilient and solution-focused under pressure
Experienced in leading teams and driving positive change
Deeply committed to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing
Motivated to inspire staff and improve outcomes for young people
A holder of a full UK Driving Licence
