Summary

Do you want to make a difference in your work? Do you enjoy a challenge? Do you have a passion for improving the life chances, opportunities and outcomes of young people? Larches High School is a Secondary Alternative Provision school which provides full time education for up to 125 pupils who are not able to access mainstream education. We have an inclusive philosophy and believe passionately in ensuring that all pupils are given the opportunities, skills, knowledge and qualifications to ensure that they are able to reintegrate back into mainstream education or on to specialist provision, further education employment or training. We recognise that our pupils are individuals and that “one size does not fit all”. 

We also understand that many of our pupils have not had a positive experience of education and we believe it is our role to re-engage them with their learning, improve relationships and broaden their opportunities. The personal relationships developed with our pupils ensure that each one achieves their potential both academically and personally. The Governors of Larches High School are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dynamic and dedicated individual to join the school as a Behaviour & Pupil Support Worker, who will contribute to the development of a whole school approach to behaviour. 

They will work closely with the Pupil Support Manager to deliver and develop strategies to improve the behaviour of pupils. Please contact the headteacher, Mrs Mitchell, to arrange a visit to the school or for an informal discussion. This school is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
