We are looking to appoint a Behaviour Consultant to work closely with identified students, including 1:1 and group work. Twyford Church of England High School, an Ofsted outstanding school with a thriving Sixth Form, is part of the Twyford Church of England Academies Trust.  The new post-holder will be joining us at a time of growth, and is oversubscribed on first choice applicants.

The role of Behaviour Consultant is an exciting opportunity for a committed and forward thinking individual to work with pastoral teams and senior school leaders.  The role is designed to provide vulnerable students with intervention support to enable them to make outstanding progress.  You will work on resolving key barriers to progress including behavioural difficulties, attendance problems, social and family issues. You will need an understanding of the statutory nature of school attendance and behaviour and will be responsible for supporting student review meetings, producing reports, preparing support plans where appropriate and working with / referring to other external agencies as required. Experience working with individual vulnerable students is therefore essential as you will be required to lead on interventions as well as develop intervention programmes. You will liaise extensively with the Interventions Department and Pastoral Leads.

Working closely with the Assistant Head (Head of Inclusion), and the school’s Intervention Co-ordinator and Specialist Family Worker, you will also support the co-ordination strategies to support young people at risk of exclusion from school. Previous experience in supporting at-risk students, and experience and understanding of teenage children and mental health, is essential for this role.  For more details about the role please see the job description.
