We are seeking to appoint a highly effective support member of staff to join the Key Stage 3 and 4 teams to work with students from Year 7 to 11. Primarily, the role involves supporting the progress of key learner groups, including those who may be disadvantaged or who have significant gaps in their learning. They will support the implementation of our action plan to support disadvantaged students, including those who qualify for Pupil premium funding. A large part of the role is student facing; the successful candidate will be a primary point of contact for students across Key Stage 3 and 4, with a focus on improving their achievement and engagement with learning.

The person we are seeking will:

• Promote the positive behaviour and excellent attendance of all students within the school, specifically at Key Stage 3 and 4.
• Track and monitor student progress using the school recording systems, including 4 Matrix and ALPS4.
• Develop and deliver personalised intervention programmes within and after school to support students’ academic progress.
• In close liaison with parents, and working closely with pastoral staff, support targeted students in developing independent learning skills, encouraging them to meet deadlines and make outstanding progress across all subjects.
• Promote the school’s inclusion policy by supporting students in their learning and personal development, removing barriers to achievement, working in small groups or with individual students as directed, including the differentiation of resources as appropriate.

This role has been identified as public facing in accordance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, and therefore the ability to converse at ease with pupils/members of the public and provide advice/instruction in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
