We are seeking an experienced and resilient Behaviour Lead to play a vital operational role within our Internal Behaviour Unit / Inclusion Centre at a supportive secondary academy in Preston, Lancashire.

De-escalation: Be the primary staff member responsible for de-escalating crises and managing challenging behaviour within the Unit, consistently applying restorative justice and trauma-informed techniques.
Reintegration Planning: Manage and execute personalised reintegration plans, collaborating with class teachers and Heads of Year to ensure successful, sustained returns to the mainstream classroom.
Record Keeping: Maintain meticulous records of student behaviour, intervention progress, and incidents, contributing to high-quality reports for the Pastoral Leadership Team.
Staff Support: Provide guidance and support to other support staff within the unit, ensuring consistency in approach and high professional standards.
What We Are Looking For
The ideal candidate will have strong practical skills in therapeutic behaviour management:
Experience: Significant, recent experience working directly with secondary-aged pupils (KS3/KS4) who present with challenging or complex behaviour in a structured setting (e.g., AP, PRU, Internal Exclusion Unit, or Residential Care).
Skills: Expert knowledge and demonstrable skill in de-escalation techniques, relationship building, and restorative practices.
Knowledge: A clear understanding of the principles of trauma-informed care and SEMH support.
Resilience: Exceptional levels of patience, professional resilience, and the ability to maintain composure under pressure.
Safeguarding: A robust understanding of school safeguarding procedures.
Why Join Our Academy in Preston?
Meaningful Role: Direct your specialist skills to achieve tangible, positive outcomes for students needing the most support.
Professional Focus: Excellent opportunity to specialise and develop expertise in leading therapeutic behaviour interventions.
Location: Join a highly collaborative and supportive school team in the heart of Preston, Lancashire.
