Student Referral Unit Manager
February 2027
South Lincolnshire Academies Trust have an exciting opportunity for a Student Referral Unit Manager to work alongside the Pastoral and Behaviour team at Cowley Academy. The SRU supports students who are referred following behaviour incidents in school (and sometimes out of school).
The SRU Manager will be responsible for supervising and supporting students in completing work set by subject teachers, discuss with students the reasons why they are in the SRU and look to support them in developing strategies to be reintegrated back in to the classroom and to avoid repeating time in the SRU.
Working as an integral part of the Pastoral and Behaviour Team, the successful candidate will be someone who:
* Is a team player but is happy to work alone;
* Is assertive;
* Is pro-active;
* Shows initiative;
* Adopts a calm and consistent approach to all students;
The Trust offers exceptionally pleasant working environments. Our school sites offer a calm and safe place, where staff and students work hard, achieve a great deal and enjoy excellent working relationships.
The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Pre-employment checks undertaken are in line with “Keeping Children Safe in Education”. All post holders are subject to satisfactory clearances prior to taking up an offer of employment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS.
Closing date for applications is 8am Monday 9th November 2026. Interviews will take place shortly thereafter.
If this sounds like you, please hit apply now!
