About the Role

InspireU settings across Lincolnshire have embraced the Learner Conduct Policy; supported by ‘When the adults change everything Changes’ by Paul Dix to support our variety of learners, to engage positively within the classroom setting.

• Encourage and praise learners to develop self-reliance and self-esteem.
• Promote student mental and physical wellbeing.
• Develop and carry out interventions to bring about positive changes in challenging behaviour.
• Support attendance monitoring processes.

This position is based in Grantham with two days a week to be worked in Ruskington, with possible travel to other sites around Lincolnshire.
