- Deliver targeted interventions focused on behaviour, emotional regulation, confidence and resilience.
- Build consistent and positive relationships with students who may be at risk of disengagement or exclusion.
- Help pupils understand the impact of their behaviour and develop more positive coping strategies.
- Use de-escalation and restorative approaches to manage challenging situations calmly.
- Support students during transitions, breaktimes and other potentially challenging periods of the school day.
- Reinforce school expectations, routines and boundaries in a fair and consistent manner.
- Work collaboratively with teachers, pastoral teams, the SENCO and families where appropriate.
- Monitor students' engagement, behaviour and progress, providing useful feedback to relevant staff.
- Contribute to individual behaviour plans, pastoral programmes and Education, Health and Care Plans where required.
- Help maintain a safe, inclusive and purposeful learning environment throughout the school.
