  • Interventions: Implement personalised behaviour support plans and targeted interventions to help students manage their emotions.
  • Team Collaboration: Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, including teachers, SENCOs, and mental health professionals, to ensure the best outcomes for students.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience as a Prison Officer or in a similarly challenging environment.
  • Strong behaviour management skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
  • Empathy, patience, and a non-judgemental approach when working with students with complex needs.
