What I'm looking for

I seek a student-focused role supporting wellbeing and progress in an inclusive school, with opportunities to lead safeguarding, mentor students, and develop behaviour strategies.

I am a dedicated pastoral and special educational needs (SEN) support professional with broad experience across schools and community settings, delivering one-to-one support, mentoring, and behaviour management. I consistently adapt resources and strategies to boost engagement, progress and wellbeing.

My background includes roles as a Pastoral Manager, Teaching and Learning Assistant (1:1), and Behaviour Mentor where I led safeguarding initiatives, developed restorative behaviour strategies, contributed to EHCP reviews, and mentored students with complex needs to reduce exclusions and improve outcomes.

I bring strong customer-service and sales experience from high-volume retail and visitor environments, combined with excellent communication, organisation, and leadership skills. I am proactive, resilient and thrive in dynamic settings where I can support students, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to inclusive school cultures.
