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.

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.
