We are looking for a reflection room lead to support and supervise the day-to-day running of the internal isolation room, and to coordinate work from relevant subject areas.  You will be the sole supervisor of the reflection room so the ability to work alone is essential.

The reflection room  lead will provide high-quality specialist support to assist the school in implementing its’ high standards of education and care for the pupils working in our reflection room. This involves ensuring that there is an orderly, safe and structured learning environment for those pupils excluded from, or otherwise not working to, a mainstream timetable. You will have excellent behaviour management skills and the ability to challenge and motivate pupils.

You will possess excellent leadership, management and communication skills and will have demonstrated an ability to work with young people and their families successfully. You will be aware of some of the challenges facing young people yet hold the highest aspirations for Co-op North Manchester’s pupils. You will also be committed to and use strategies that will ensure that all pupils are given the very best opportunities to be successful in all areas of their lives.

You must carry out their duties with full regard and commitment to the Academy Community Committee and academy Policies.

The job description is not necessarily a comprehensive definition of the post, and you may be required to undertake other tasks appropriate to the level of appointment the academy may require.

Where the post holder is disabled, every effort will be made to supply all necessary aids, adaptations or equipment to allow them to carry out all the duties of the job.  If, however, a certain task proves to be unachievable, job redesign will be fully considered.
