About the Role:

We are seeking a dedicated and experienced individual to join our SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) school.

  • Classroom Assistance: Work closely with teachers to support the learning and engagement of students in lessons.
  • 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.
  • A passion for helping young people with SEMH challenges achieve their potential.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with a team and maintain a flexible, proactive attitude.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Why Join Protocol Education?

  • Supportive Environment – Ongoing training, CPD, and the backing of a strong team committed to the well-being of staff.
  • Impactful Work – Make a meaningful difference in the lives of students with SEMH needs, helping them overcome barriers to learning and personal growth.
  • Dedicated Consultant – You will have a dedicated consultant with experience in the field themselves to support and work alongside you.
  • Educator Events – Termly Coffee Mornings hosted by your local branch, Educator Recognition Awards, CPD Training Courses.
