Coupled with this is the commitment, care and investment in our people, who we believe are our greatest asset. If you are a team player who is looking for a varied and interesting new career opportunity within learning support, then we want to hear from you!

The Positive Discipline Manager is responsible for the management of a safe and productive environment to manage student behaviour, often in challenging circumstances, and will support students to reflect on their behaviours and make more positive choices in future. The role has responsibility for overseeing and managing the systems in place to support Positive Discipline (PD) across the entire school (both sanctions and rewards) to ensure that strategic decisions are well informed, and evidence based, while maintaining effective communication with all stakeholders.
