Summary

About this Role

Location: Busker Lane, Scissett, Huddersfield until we move to our brand New School in Deighton.

WHO WE ARE

At Joseph Norton Academy (part of the Wellspring Academy Trust), we do school a bit differently. We support wonderful children and young people with complex social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

No two days are ever the same here. Our pupils have ever changing needs due to their diverse backgrounds, which means we adapt, support, and grow together every single day. Above all, the most important things you can bring to this role are patience, empathy, a willingness to learn, and a genuine drive to help our pupils succeed.

We are growing and looking for positive, resilient people to join our supportive team.

Our culture is built on the core values of Respect, Perseverance, Cooperation, and Responsibility, which are reflected in our Ways of Working.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an instructor with creativity and resilience to join us on our journey. In return for your passion and commitment we can offer outstanding professional development, supportive colleagues and a welcoming environment that prioritises your workload and wellbeing.

As our Positive Engagement Coach you will take the lead in the coordination, design and delivery of activities to support children in a SEMH special school. You will work with a variety of organisations and establish appropriate networks to ensure safe and effective provisions at a range of settings.
