This is a unique and exciting opportunity to provide crucial operational management and support to the SRB Lead Teacher. The successful candidate will take responsibility for coordinating, planning, and delivering high-impact SEMH interventions and core support programmes, overseeing behaviour management strategies, and supporting Individual Intervention Plans.

- enthusiastic about planning and delivering targeted interventions to support pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs?
- a dedicated and resilient practitioner who models inclusive practice, consistently raises expectations, and creates a safe, nurturing environment where barriers to learning are overcome?
- an excellent communicator skilled at supporting pupil assessment, induction, and transition, while acting as a trusted liaison for parents, carers, and external agencies?
