Vacancy Information

Oastlers Keighley is a purpose-built school for secondary school age learners with social, emotional and mental health disturbance. Some have additional learning difficulties compounded by other complex issues, which combined, create barriers to learning. It is the second site for the school and with a specific focus on vocational pathways into employment or further education.

We are seeking to appoint a Behaviour Support Worker who, not only understands complex emotional, social and mental health needs of secondary aged learners, but one who is also sympathetic and sensitive to the very difficulties our learners face in their personal lives and help them overcome those barriers to succeed.

What this means is that every day is different, every day brings along a new challenge but with that every day is highly satisfying.

The Behaviour Support Worker is required to carry out the professional duties as a member of the school community, alongside a multi-agency team, and such particular duties which the Behaviour Manager and/or Centre Manager may reasonably dictate from time to time

• The Behaviour Support Worker has an important role to play in delivering the school’s Behaviour Policy and ensuring learners are in the most advantageous position to access the curriculum
• The Behaviour Support Worker will assist the Behaviour Manager to support  teachers to support the learners of Oastlers School through the implementation of PLPs and PBPs
• The Behaviour Support Worker with the support of the Behaviour Manager and leadership team to provide professional guidance on effective behaviour management to colleagues
• The Behaviour Support Worker will assist the Behaviour Manager in ensuring detailed records are kept on learner progress and report to the SLT as necessary
