Working 1:1 or in small groups on areas such as self-esteem, friendships, bullying and behaviour
Monitoring behaviour data through online systems to identify trends and inform interventions
Supporting the development and implementation of behaviour strategies and reward systems
Contributing to risk assessments, safety plans, intervention plans and student documentation
Collaborating with staff, parents and external agencies to ensure consistent and effective support
Who We’re Looking For

Skilled in building strong, positive relationships and using restorative approaches
Emotionally intelligent, reflective and solution-focused in practice
