Job description

The Student Behaviour Intervention Lead will manage the day-to-day delivery of the WHMAT Emergency Respite Provision, which supports pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 who have been temporarily removed from their home school and are in need of a re-integration period.

This short-term intervention aims to maintain educational engagement, support behaviour change, and reduce the likelihood of suspension.

Working under the direction of the Integration Hub Manager, the role includes coordinating curriculum delivery, behaviour mentoring, safeguarding, and reintegration planning in close collaboration with home schools and families.

Key Responsibilities

• Operational Leadership: Lead and manage daily operations of the Emergency Respite Provision for pupils from KS2 to KS4. Create and maintain a calm, structured, and supportive learning environment. Ensure the day runs smoothly with effective routines, staff deployment, and planning. Liaise regularly with the Integration Hub Manager regarding pupil progress and provision development.
• Curriculum & Support Delivery: Coordinate the continuation of academic learning using resources provided by home schools. Ensure provision is tailored appropriately for the age and stage of each pupil. Facilitate age-appropriate mentoring and behaviour coaching sessions. Support pupils in understanding their behaviour and developing regulation strategies.
• Behaviour & Reintegration Support: Implement consistent expectations for behaviour using restorative practices. Track and monitor pupil engagement, behaviour, and attendance during placement. Support planning and delivery of reintegration back into the pupil’s base school. Work closely with families and school staff to promote sustained behaviour change.
• Safeguarding & Communication: Act as the safeguarding lead for the Emergency Respite Provision, reporting and recording concerns appropriately. Communicate regularly with home schools, parents/carers, and relevant external agencies. Maintain detailed records of pupil attendance, behaviour, and interventions. Participate in review meetings and contribute to behaviour assessments and reports.
