Positive Behaviour Lead

Purpose of the Role

To work and lead other staff as part of a professional team to provide the highest quality holistic support to our students who need help to overcome barriers to learning. Students may have a range of moderate, severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties and/or behaviour, social, communication, sensory or physical difficulties. Providing timely support and advice to colleagues is also a key operational part of the role. The post holder will champion a PBS-led approach across Craig y Parc, ensuring that PBM practice sits within a wider culture of prevention, regulation, de-escalation, reflective practice and reduction of restrictive interventions.

The post holder will provide support to the school in a range of duties. Primarily, the post holder will work with the Floret View cohort and staff but as a combined site will also be expected to support Craig y Parc students and staff where needed.

This is an outline of the job role which includes but is not limited to:

• Lead daily positive behaviour, regulation and readiness-to-learn support across Floret View provision.
• Champion a PBS-led culture, ensuring approaches are person-centred, trauma-informed and focused on prevention, dignity and quality of life.
• Develop, implement and review individual PBS plans, behaviour support plans and risk assessments in partnership with staff, families, therapists and safeguarding colleagues.
• Provide direct support to students during periods of dysregulation, using agreed proactive, de-escalation and regulation strategies.
• Coach, model and support staff in the consistent implementation of student plans, communication strategies, environmental adaptations and de-escalation approaches.
• Lead or support PBM training, refreshers and practice development, subject to appropriate trainer status, ensuring all physical intervention practice is safe, proportionate, approved and used only as a last resort.
• Support the school’s restraint reduction approach through monitoring, review, reflective practice and staff development.
• Follow up after incidents to check student and staff welfare, capture learning and ensure agreed actions are completed.

• Record and review incidents using CPOMS, Nourish and other systems, producing reports that identify trends, risks, triggers and training needs.
• Support the review of serious incidents and physical/restrictive intervention records with senior leaders ensuring safeguarding concerns are escalated appropriately.
• Lead individual and small-group interventions to develop emotional regulation, social understanding, communication and positive relationships.
• Work with families, external agencies and multi-disciplinary colleagues to ensure joined-up support.
• Support safe arrival, transition and departure arrangements where required.
• Provide organisational and administrative support to the Headteacher in relation to behaviour, welfare and intervention systems.
• Support wider Craig y Parc provision where required, while maintaining Floret View as the primary area of responsibility.
• Undertake any other reasonable duties as directed by the Headteacher.
• The content and reporting lines may, in consultation with the employee, be reviewed because duties change over time, and the job description needs to reflect these changes.
