The main function of the role is to deliver restorative, behavioural and wellbeing interventions for children and young people across the City. This will sometimes involve visiting up to 5 providers in a day.
We work with both Primary and Secondary pupils (aged 5-16) who may have Emotional, Behavioural or Special Educational Needs. The role also involves working with permanently excluded pupils, those in danger of permanent exclusion and supporting student transition.
We value diverse perspectives and experiences and are striving to create a workplace culture that is inclusive, is accepting of all and is free from discrimination and bias.

This could include setting up and attending meetings, writing behaviour plans, delivering one to ones, mentoring, teaching behaviour strategies, group work, target setting, lesson observations, monitoring progress and attendance, calls and home visits.
