Academics are recruiting on behalf of an Alternative Provision in Basingstoke, offering an exciting opportunity for a Deputy Support Lead Manager to join their successful behaviour team.

As a Deputy Support Lead Manager, you will play an active role in developing students' behaviour and improving staff's behaviour management by planning, implementing, and evaluating interventions.

You will be responsible for communicating behavioural information, including the extent of interventions delivered, to staff, pupils, families, carers, and staff members, especially concerning personal or psycho-social issues impacting behaviour. Interventions may involve highly emotional or sometimes antagonistic pupils, requiring satisfactory outcomes focused on the individual's best interests.

Other responsibilities include:

• Providing care, support, guidance, discipline, and encouragement to students.
• Delivering intervention and bespoke learning for at-risk students.
• Ensuring accurate electronic data recording (e.g., CPOMS, CBucks).
• Organising and leading post-incident reviews following significant incidents.
• Recording all detentions, physical/serious incidents, fixed-term and internal exclusions on CPOMS, including all related protocols and communications.
• Producing reports and feedback for the governing body.
• Overseeing performance management of all behaviour team staff.
• Proactively managing behaviour daily to meet school and student needs.
• Managing staff deployment challenges, including 1:1 mentoring, small group support, behaviour buddy functions, walkabout support, and sickness cover.
• Attaining GSA Tutor Status and planning/delivering General Services training for new staff.

The successful candidate must have theoretical and practical knowledge of behavioural interventions, procedures, and practices relevant to this area (e.g., positive and negative reinforcement), knowledge of child protection and safeguarding procedures, and a calm, positive, caring attitude towards pupils.
