Behaviour Support Practitioner – required as soon as possible

Temporary contract until 31st August 2023, in the first instance

This is an exciting time to be joining Newcastle Academy, as we continue to develop our SEND provision. We need an enthusiastic Behaviour Support Practitioner who can support our students and teaching staff on our journey of improvement with a focus on behaviour.

Ofsted (November 2019) state “Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Teachers take pupils’ needs into account when planning learning. Teaching assistants provide the right support in class when pupils need it.” The successful applicant will be able to support our students in the classroom and in smaller groups. The role will also include providing confidential pastoral support and liaising with external partner agencies, as well as working closely with parents, so good relationship, listening and communication skills are essential.

We believe staff development is a key aspect in raising standards for our students, and you will therefore be supported with a personalised CPD programme and opportunities to achieve your ambitions. You will benefit from a supportive and challenging leadership, which empowers you to develop your own skills.
