Summary

We are currently reviewing our pastoral structures, and are looking to appoint two Isolation & Cover Supervisors to join the AG+ team. AG+ is our pastoral team, led by Assistant Head Teacher Mrs Vanessa Holland.

The role is offered on a permanent basis, and we would welcome applications for both full and part time hours.
The key priorities of the role are to supervise the isolation room, provide pupil mentoring support (for example to looked after children and to support the admin of paperwork for meetings) and to provide class supervision during times of teacher absence. 

We are therefore looking for someone who is flexible in approach, enthusiastic and well-organised and keen to promote and implement our positive behaviour policy, and confident in both working alone and in part of a multi-disciplined team.

They will be primarily responsible for the independent management of the running of the school’s isolation room, but will also provide class supervision during times of teacher absence. We seek a person who believes that education is the key to enabling the best possible future and is passionate about working with young people. 
The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal skills, be able to engage and inspire, demonstrate patience and understanding, be a champion for the vulnerable and will be able to build and maintain a rapport with students. 

This role has three aspects: 

Supervising the Isolation room - Providing a calm environment for those pupils placed in isolation, whilst ensuring they have class work to do and are effectively supported and supervised.
Cover supervision - Providing classroom supervision during times of teacher absence, supporting the pupils to complete the work set, and maintaining a calm learning environment.
Mentoring and supporting pupils - Providing support for looked after children (LAC) and other vulnerable pupils including supporting the completion of paperwork for reviews and other meetings.
