PROFILE
I am a keen, flexible and dependable person. I work well under pressure and have a
calm and pragmatic approach to demanding situations. I am a solution based
problem solver who believes there is always another option to try. Once I left school I
had a career in the army as a tank crewman and spent much time living abroad. After
leaving the army I found work in various places to provide an income while I
retrained. These jobs included being a building site labourer and volunteer youth
work. After retraining I went into the field of education as an integration assistant. I
have been working in the education system now for twenty years and worked as the
manager of a learning support unit overseeing a team of ten or so teaching
assistants and as such believe I work well as part of a team.

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE
Title Held, Name of Company Dates of employment
Time Out Room Manager Sidney Stringer Academy 2013 - current
I am responsible for the co-ordination and running of a number of behaviour related
support systems in a large multi-cultural school in the centre of Coventry city. The
school currently has a populous of thirteen hundred students with forty odd
languages spoken and thus I need to be sensitive to the needs of many different
cultures and national groups. During my day to day duties I have to display

2. exceptional communication skills to deal with students whom are displaying
challenging behaviour. This I completed alongside a time table of co teaching
engineering with a fellow college. As part of my day to day responsibilities I have to
keep records regarding the students accessing the time out room. Once a month I
then have to statistically analyse that data to inform the senior staff of the school
regarding behaviour trends within the school populous. Support can then be put in
place in those areas. Thus I am used in a strategic over view of the behaviour in the
school and how to accommodate changes. This means flexibility, patience and a
level head are key.

Head of Internal Exclusion Sidney Stringer Academy 2010-2013
After Sidney Stringer School became Sidney Stringer Academy I took on the
responsibility of the set up and development of an internal exclusion room. Sidney
Stringer had never had this provision before and so I was required to do this from the
ground up. This involved the writing and development of various systems for the
school to use to support staff who are dealing with challenging students.

Behaviour Manager Sidney Stringer School 2005-2010
As the behaviour manager at Sidney Stringer School it was my responsibility to line
manage a team of teaching assistants and provide a curriculum for students to
access during their stay in the learning support area. During my role I, on many
occasions, had to deal with very stressed and upset parents as well as students who
were in crisis. I developed many managerial skills during this time which afforded me
the experience needed to have difficult conversations with a number of persons in
authority. I also had to deal with child protection issues on numerous occasions. The
ability to keep calm during these events is crucial.

who needed help in a social/emotional sense as well as the day-to-day issues
present with a large group of teenagers. Meeting with parents and senior staff were a
daily occurrence. I also provided many extra curricula activities for students including
the organization and delivery of a course of horse riding lessons.

Learning Mentor Queensbridge school 1998-2003
As a learning mentor it was my duty to deliver a social skills package to selected

barriers to learning I frequently negotiated and mediated between students and
members of staff regarding classroom behaviour and general social skills.
