  • Deliver targeted interventions to support learning, emotional regulation and social development.
  • Use trauma-informed and de-escalation strategies to positively manage behaviour.
  • Encourage independence, resilience and positive outcomes both inside and outside the classroom.
  • Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs and pastoral teams to deliver personalised support plans.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Experience working with children or young people with SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour is desirable.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Calm, patient and resilient approach to behaviour management.
  • A genuine passion for supporting vulnerable young people.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive daily pay rates.
  • Access to our CPD Training Library with over £8,000 worth of accredited courses to support your professional development.
  • Opportunities for long-term, temp-to-perm and permanent positions.
  • A supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people.

What Happens Next?

  • One of our dedicated consultants will contact you to discuss your experience and the type of role you're looking for.
  • You'll receive full support throughout registration, compliance and the DBS process.
  • We'll create a tailored candidate profile and proactively match you with schools that suit your skills, experience and career goals.

Please be advised that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection. Successful applicants must satisfy all safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service or be willing to apply for one.
