We are seeking a highly skilled and collaborative Behaviour Coach to lead and coordinate coaching and mentoring for staff, with a focus on strengthening behaviour support practices and promoting positive student engagement. This role is instrumental in building a culture of professional learning, collegiality, and consistent, evidence-based approaches to behaviour and wellbeing across the school.

Job details

The successful applicant will work alongside staff to develop capability in supporting students with diverse behavioural and social-emotional needs.

* Modelling effective, inclusive, and restorative practices across learning environments
* Supporting the implementation of whole-school behaviour strategies and consistent approaches
* Facilitating professional learning and encouraging reflective practice among staff
* Collaborating with leadership, staff, and families to improve student engagement and wellbeing
* Supporting best practice use of targeted interventions, including internal suspension processes, as part of a broader behaviour support framework
