This is a full-time, long-term role, ideal for individuals with a passion for supporting young people who face barriers to mainstream education.
The Setting

Provide one-to-one and small group support to pupils aged 11-16
Implement behaviour strategies and de-escalation techniques to promote a calm, safe environment
Assist in delivering tailored learning activities and interventions
Help pupils develop self-esteem, resilience and appropriate social skills
Monitor and record behaviour and progress, feeding back to the wider team
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Experience working with young people with challenging behaviour, SEMH needs or in alternative provision
Resilience, patience, and a non-judgemental approach
Strong behaviour management and excellent communication skills
The ability to remain calm under pressure and build trust with pupils
A background in youth work, sports coaching, psychology, or education is advantageous
What the School Offers:
A supportive team committed to inclusion and pupil success
Ongoing training in behaviour management and trauma-informed practice
An early finish every Friday
Opportunities for permanent positions and career progression within the setting
This role is ideal for candidates looking to make a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable learners in the area. Whether you're an experienced support worker or someone looking to step into education, the school provides a robust induction and training programme.
