Behaviour Support Worker

At Livingstone Academy, we are passionate about excellence in education, giving pupils the very best start in life with a firm belief that aspirational teaching transforms lives. Our core belief is that for all students to have high aspirations, they must believe in themselves (SELF WORTH), be actively engaged in their learning (ENGAGEMENT) and see the connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow (PURPOSE). Livingstone Academy is part of Aspirations Academies Trust, who sponsor primary and secondary academies located across the UK. 

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, creative and enthusiastic person to join our happy, successful and forward-thinking school. We need colleagues who are ready to think big, improvise and learn alongside students; people who will strive to reach students in a flexible, progressive environment, which breaks the traditional walls between school and the world outside.

The Behaviour Support Worker will play a pivotal role embedding the behaviour policy and the use of associated systems by training and developing staff and holding them accountable for implementation. Your focus will be to reduce levels of absence from lessons and poor behaviour amongst key groups (including disadvantaged, SEND and vulnerable students) and to work with identified students and their families to increase levels of engagement and ensure that the school’s core values are embodied by students consistently. Ultimately, we are looking for a committed candidate with an uncompromising belief that all students deserve an outstanding education. They will uphold our inclusive ethos and provide opportunities for all students to progress well.
