A rare Pastoral and Behaviour Lead role in a lovely secondary school.

Your new school Lift Winton is a popular secondary school with fantastic facilities and a great reputation within the local community. With that said, we continue to be ambitious and want to become the best school in Hampshire. The school has recently appointed a new Principal, Myles Preston, who brings with him over ten years of experience in both teaching and leadership roles. Myles is passionate about the prospect of working with and leading a fantastic community of like minded staff who understand the potential that an excellent education has in unlocking doors for young people and who are dedicated to joining a school on a rapid journey of improvement. If you are ambitious, energetic and have a ‘get stuck in’ attitude, this could be the role for you. We are in the process of building a vision and a set of values to drive our school forward, and want to hear from people who are excited about the prospect of working with us to ensure our school is a high performing school in terms of outcomes, but also a school which places community and care at the forefront of all that we do.

About the role

As Pastoral and Behaviour Leader you will be responsible for the leadership and management of our Reset and Reflection room, with a focus on building relationships with our students and setting them up for success and a return to their lessons. You will work closely with our Heads of Year and our Senior Leadership team to ensure support for our most vulnerable students, and play a key role in supporting them pastorally to succeed.

Key responsibilities

• Support the wellbeing of students and help them feel included in daily school life
• Work with students who need extra care, including those with SEND or safeguarding plans
• Monitor behaviour and attendance, and put plans in place to help improve both
• Build strong relationships with families and communicate clearly about student progress
• Work closely with safeguarding, SEND and attendance teams to create joined-up support
• Keep accurate records on school systems and use data to help improve student outcomes

What you'll need to succeed

You will have experience in motivating students and promoting high expectations with students alongside using data to analyse performance, track progress, and inform decision making. You will be able to think creatively and innovatively and use effective behaviour management strategies combined with high expectations of students' behaviour as you are working with students who have difficulty in expressing themselves and may frequently be unable to control their frustrations.

We offer you

• Comprehensive training: Access to some of the best developmental training to boost your career.
• Generous benefits: From your pension plan to healthcare and financial support, we've got you covered.
• Lifestyle perks: Enjoy discounted gym memberships, travel deals, and much more.
