• Being a visible and approachable presence around the school, supporting students throughout the school day
• Building positive relationships with students to encourage engagement, attendance, and positive behaviour
• Supporting students who need additional pastoral or behavioural support, both in and out of lessons
• Working closely with teaching staff, parents, and external agencies to promote positive outcomes for students
• Managing behaviour confidently, calmly, and consistently in line with the school's policies
• Supporting students with emotional wellbeing and helping them overcome barriers to learning
• Contributing to a safe, inclusive, and positive school environment
• Experience working with young people in education, youth work, coaching, care, or similar settings
• Strong behaviour management skills and the confidence to de-escalate challenging situations
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A calm, resilient, and proactive approach to supporting young people
• A genuine passion for improving outcomes for students
