Your Role

Your Role

Do you want a career that can positively impact children’s lives? Then your career could be as an #EMATter! We are currently recruiting Inclusion Support Practitioners (ISP) to work alongside teachers to help children be the best they can be through a range of activities, interventions, and attendance support. As an ISP, you may specialise in our additional resource provisions or work across year groups and phases in mainstream settings. We are an organisation that values diversity and will invest in you to become the best. Join us at EMAT to be part of a team that values innovation, inclusivity, and impact.

We are currently recruiting Multi-site Inclusion Support Practitioners to work across schools in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes. In this vital role, you will support teachers in delivering high-quality learning by working across classrooms and schools, planning and delivering lessons, leading small group interventions, providing flexible cover, and helping pupils maintain regular attendance and engagement with learning.

We are a collaborative partnership that currently educates around 5,000 children every year. Our schools include an all-through school in Northampton, a secondary school in Oundle, and five primary schools in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.

Your Impact

In response to increasing complexity in special and pastoral needs, EMAT created the Inclusion Support Practitioner role to enhance teaching, learning, and engagement by:

Supporting consistently high expectations and standards in every classroom
Enthusing, engaging, and motivating students to achieve their best
Building trust and confidence in both students and colleagues
Promoting positive attendance, punctuality, and engagement as part of learning and wellbeing
Supporting reintegration and catch-up learning for pupils who have been absent
Working with families and pastoral teams to remove barriers to regular attendance

In this role, you will work proactively and independently, providing targeted support to students both with and without specific needs, adapting learning, leading small group or one-to-one interventions, and supporting attendance alongside academic progress. You will collaborate closely with teachers, SENDCos, family liaison teams, educational psychologists, speech and language professionals, NHS Education Mental Health Support Teams, and local authority services to ensure a joined-up approach to each child’s learning, wellbeing, and engagement.

General Roles and Responsibilities

To ensure the greatest possible progress and development of students, you will:

Set consistently high expectations and standards
Enthuse, engage, and motivate students
Inspire trust and confidence in students and colleagues
Support learners’ attendance and engagement alongside their learning, helping pupils overcome barriers to regular school participation
Deliver interventions, adapt learning, and provide flexible cover to support catch-up and reintegration
