Netherwood Academy is an 11-16 academy which opened in September 2012, set in an extensive £35 million campus. As part of Astrea Academy Trust, Netherwood Academy is in an exciting period of development.
As Behaviour Support Worker, you will be consistent, dependable and organised, as well as committed to supporting your colleagues to deliver the very best education possible. This is a crucial position in our structure, and will strongly contribute to a climate in which teachers can deliver classes free of disruption, whilst allowing the coaching and mentoring of students to amend their behaviour to be able to re-join classes quickly.
The ideal candidate will have an unstinting commitment to supporting colleagues. We need someone who is organised and prepared to work hard under direction as well as under their own auspices to ensure that students are equipped to learn and can thrive in the classroom setting. The role will involve small-group and one-to-one mentoring and coaching, as well as support in whole-class environments.
We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose.
