We currently have an exciting opportunity for a committed and enthusiastic Arboretum Inclusion Manager to join our team. The Inclusion Manager is a pivotal role within The Arboretum, Sidney Stringer Academy's internal SEMH alternative provision, operating at the intersection of main school pastoral systems and specialist intervention. The post holder will lead the day-to-day delivery of the ACE intervention - a structured, time-limited placement designed for students whose persistent defiance or significant one-off behavioural incidents have exhausted standard internal options, but who do not meet the threshold for Supported Transfer or six-week external placements.
Job requirements:
- GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and mathematics (grade C/4 or above)
- Experience working in an educational setting with young people who face significant barriers to learning, including those with SEMH needs
- An understanding of trauma-informed practice in education and a commitment to developing expertise further
- Experience managing challenging behaviour calmly and effectively in a school or comparable setting
- Strong organisational skills, including the ability to manage daily logistics, record-keeping, and communication across multiple stakeholders
- An understanding of the significance of education to social justice and life outcomes
As the Arboretum Inclusion Manager within Sidney Stringer Academy, you'll be able to make a key difference to a pupil's educational experience as a crucial part of the wider team, and will have the opportunity to develop your skill set with key training and development opportunities available.
Interviews will take place on Thursday 17th December 2026.
