Advert

At Towers, we are strict because we care.  

We are teaching students to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  We expect the best of all of our students because to expect anything less would not be acceptable. We believe that a reason is not an excuse and we expect students to show resilience in all aspects of their schooling. At Towers we do what we say we will do and we do not make excuses.  We are respectful, we stand together and we take collective responsibility for our actions.

We are looking for an exceptional Behaviour Correction Lead. The role is pivotal to the continued progress of the school. If you believe in strong discipline, no excuses and that children should be respectful and obedient at all times then this may be the role for you. The role is suitable for a strong disciplinarian who believes that a culture of excellent behaviour and respect is crucial to the development of children and central to maximising their life chances.

This role isn’t suited to a would-be counsellor or to someone who wants to be every child’s best friend. This role is for someone who believes children need clear, firm discipline. This role is for someone who believes tough love is what children need to become better people and grow into responsible young adults.

We want someone who will oversee the Behaviour Correction provision and ensure that students see it as an appropriate deterrent. We also want someone who will analyse data, organise detentions, line-manage staff, ring parents, be extremely efficient with time and paperwork, have heart-to-heart conversations with students and be inspirational.

You do not need any experience, but must be willing to learn on the job. You must also be hard-working, willing to get stuck in and own the job like it is the most important thing in the world to you.

We will train you if you are the right person for the job. So don’t imagine you cannot do it.

If you have presence, passion and a good voice, then we want to meet you! The salary we are offering is higher than a job like this would normally pay. This is because we want someone who is truly excellent.
