Our school is part of the Blackdown Education Partnership, we believe that our schools should sit at the heart of our communities; that there are no limits to what our children and young people can achieve; and that they should be great places to work and learn.

We are incredibly proud of our Trust and the schools within it. Strong partnerships, collaboration and generosity are the bonds which underpin our collective mission to provide great education for all children no matter what their starting point or their background.

What will I be doing?

The Castle School requires a Behaviour and Inclusion Assistant with strong relationships, good boundaries, high expectations and a positive attitude to support students to complete sanctions.

You will manage the day-to-day operation of the Behaviour Room, ensuring a calm, structured environment where students reflect on their behaviour, continue their learning, and are supported to successfully reintegrate into lessons. Our view of ‘sanction the behaviour, support the student’ means that some proactive and reflective work is beneficial to reduce the chances of repeat negative behaviours.

The post holder plays a key role in promoting high standards of behaviour, supporting staff, and contributing to a positive school culture.

What is in it for me?

We can offer you: An opportunity to work in an experienced and supportive team from whom you can learn, develop and grow. A friendly, busy and dynamic workplace where each day is different from the last. A competitive salary. Wider opportunities to be involved across our Trust. An energised and professional working environment.
