The successful candidate will assist our established behaviour team to ensure high standards of behaviour, learning and achievement with students whilst promoting our vision of Dignity, Collaboration, Positivity and Aspiration.


We are seeking an enthusiastic, hard-working and organised person to assist in dealing with a wide range of needs for our students, across all year groups within our Curriculum Plus Centre.
