Alperton Community School is a large, mixed 11‑18 academy, with over 350 students in our thriving Sixth Form. We are a truly inclusive school, reflecting the wonderfully diverse and vibrant local community we serve. Our students are exceptionally well behaved, hardworking, and ambitious to succeed. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (March 2026), the school was graded Strong standard and Expected standard.

Student progress at both GCSE and A Level has consistently been well above national averages. Outcomes for disadvantaged students closely match those of their peers. In 2023, our Progress 8 score was 0.82 (well above average), and our A Level progress placed us in the top 1 % of schools nationally. A high proportion of our students go on to study at Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities.

This is a vital role in ensuring the smooth day‑to‑day running of the school. The core purpose of the role is to assist in the delivery of high‑quality education by supporting students, teachers, and the wider school community.

• Provide 1:1 and small group mentoring for students at risk of exclusion or underachievement.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with students to improve behaviour and engagement.
• Develop and implement behaviour support plans tailored to individual needs.
• Act as a consistent adult role model.

• Support the school’s behaviour policy consistently across departments.
• De‑escalate incidents and manage conflict using restorative approaches.
• Supervise internal exclusion, reflection rooms, or inclusion units where required.

• Monitor student wellbeing and report safeguarding concerns in line with school policy.
• Work with pastoral teams to support students facing social, emotional, or mental health challenges.
• Provide early intervention for students at risk.

• Liaise with teachers, Heads of Year, SENCO, and senior leaders regarding student progress.
• Attend behaviour and safeguarding meetings.
• Contribute to strategies for improving whole‑school behaviour culture.

• Communicate with parents/carers regarding behaviour and progress.
• Work with external agencies (e.g., youth services, social workers, CAMHS) where necessary.

• Track behaviour data, attendance, and progress of targeted students.
• Maintain accurate records of interventions and outcomes.
• Evaluate impact and adapt strategies accordingly.

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic individual to join our support staff team—someone who is committed to helping students thrive and who enjoys working as part of a collaborative and supportive environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A genuine passion for supporting young people in their learning and development.
• A commitment to inclusive, student‑focused education.
• A flexible, proactive, and positive attitude.
• The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

• Extensive CPD and professional growth opportunities.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Cashback Health Benefits.
• Cycle to Work Scheme.
• Pension Scheme.
• Opportunities for progression and leadership.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community. We are committed to safer recruitment and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
