About us
At Amersham School we pride ourselves on our ability to provide each and every one of our students with a first class and personalised education which enables them to flourish and succeed in all areas of school life. We strive to create a supportive and structured learning environment in which individuals are challenged to realise their full potential and encouraged to be ambitious for their futures. We believe it is of the utmost importance for students to become self-confident, positive and enquiring learners and this vision underpins everything we do.
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated person to develop and implement effective strategies to promote positive behaviour in school within a team.

You will be involved with attendance, wellbeing, mindset and parental engagement in order to create holistic interventions intended to support the student. You will work closely with students, teachers, parents and other staff members to address and resolve barriers to learning and will contribute to the overall wellbeing and academic success of the school community.
The role involves working as part of a team with students and parents to provide early intervention, support and guidance; ensuring that students come to school, stay in lessons and are able to learn. You will proactively build relationships with parents and carers and will contribute to the smooth running of the Reflection Room.
This is a non-teaching role.
