We are looking to recruit a Reflection Room Leader who will be responsible for working with students who need additional support with their behaviour for learning. OPA operates a 'Disruption-Free Learning' policy and as part of that, has a Reflection Room as a space for students who have found it difficult to learn in lessons.

· Be able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing

· Have achieved GCSE Maths, English (essential) and Science (desirable) at grade C/4 or above

· Be calm and resilient under pressure

· Be able to support children to make better choices in their learning

· Be able to support children's learning in the Reflection Room (work will be provided)

· Have competent IT skills to enable you to look at basic data and create short reports about the Reflection Room usage

· Be excited to be part of our team helping OPA continue its journey to excellence
