St Peter’s is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (‘Good’ April 2025 and SIAMS inspection (‘Excellent’ May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who ‘live life to the full’. As a Beacon School, Relational and Restorative Approaches are key to how we educate for a wise, courageous and compassionate community.
We are seeking to appoint an Intervention Support Officer to work alongside the Head of Year with a relentless focus in providing the very best outcomes and experiences for students in their care.
You will be enthusiastic and passionate about making a difference to the life chances of students. You will have experience of training in safeguarding or a desire to develop in this area. You will be able to be calm under pressure, work relationally with students, parents, staff and external agencies and have strong people skills and a desire to learn, sometimes in challenging situations. Ideally experience in using restorative methods to de-escalate and resolve difficulties would be an advantage. In summary a great Intervention Support Officer makes a positive difference to students by helping to keep them safe and ensuring students take personal responsibility for their learning progress.
Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.
We offer:
- A welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff
- A supportive working environment
- Students with a drive to succeed
A willingness and ability to offer time and energy to our wellbeing programme &/or extra-curricular provision (which we believe adds significant value to our character based approaches to education, including our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors), will be taken into consideration for applications.
