Are you passionate about making a tangible difference in young people's lives? As the Student Refocus Lead, you will hold a vital, high impact position within the school. You will be instrumental in helping drive a positive school culture by managing our Refocus Room, a dedicated space designed to help students reset, reflect and get back on track.
This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, resilient, and empathetic professional to act as a mentor and champion for student success. You will work closely with teaching staff, Heads of Year and the Senior Leadership Team to ensure that high standards of behaviour and discipline are maintained across the school.
The Challenge & The Impact
The Refocus Room is used to support students who have struggled to meet behavioural expectations and you will regularly work with students who are frustrated, disengaged, or facing complex challenges. This role requires the ability to rapidly form strong, trusting relationships with students, de‑scalating tense situations with calm authority. One of the main aims is to maintain a quiet, highly structured, and productive atmosphere so that students can seamlessly continue their academic work.
