Reflections Room Supervisor

A full-time permanent role from 1st September 2025

Hours of work: 8:00am to 3:50pm, term time plus 5 days

Salary: SCP 17 – 19 (£26,260 - £27,140 actual salary)

About the role:

We are looking to appoint a supervisor for our reflections room.  This is an integral component of our behaviour management system, both as a sanction for any poor student behaviour, but also to aid reflection and avoid any future similar issues.  At present, there is capacity for a maximum of six students, but we are in the process of exploring plans to expand the facility to provide additional space so that there is more room to work with students on a one to one basis.  We are looking for an individual who is used to working with young people and who will build effective working relationships with them, as well as holding them to account for their behaviour choices.  This is an ideal role for those with pastoral experience, those wanting to gain such experience or those considering joining the teaching profession.

Hathershaw College

The Hathershaw College is a very successful and oversubscribed 11-16 Academy within the Pinnacle Learning Trust. We are a good school with a group of very talented teachers and staff who set high standards and expectations for our children. We have a strong training and CPD programme (supported by The Pinnacle Learning Trust Research School), which offers opportunities to develop your skills.

We are inclusive and celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of everyone within the College.  We care about our young people, with our first priority always being to make sure they are happy and safe so that they are able to learn. 

Our Ofsted report recognises the school as a “happy place to learn”, and that pupils enjoy coming to school and “behave sensibly around the school and in lessons. They are respectful to other pupils, staff and visitors”.  It also acknowledges the work we have done to support staff wellbeing, stating:  “Staff value the steps that leaders have taken to ease their workload and support their well-being.”  In our annual staff survey, colleagues valued the communication from leaders, in particular how often leaders consult with staff before making decisions that affect them, where the positive response rate was 11% above national benchmark.

Our colleagues  underpin our mission and values, sharing high expectations and collaborative opportunities through supportive networks.  We care about each other and the real difference we can make to students’ futures, and we want to recruit staff who share our vision.

We are well located with good public transport links and excellent access to the motorway network.

Our vision for our workforce is one in which diverse, dedicated, skilled and high-performing staff are operating in a healthy and inclusive work environment; enabling everyone to feel valued, respected and encouraged in order to contribute their best to support us in achieving our mission. 

Our Trust invests in each member of staff, offering them professional development opportunities, as well as the opportunity to contribute to the development of others via our Research School. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
