We are recruiting for two full‑time specialist practitioners to join the Brighton and Hove Inclusion Support Service (BHISS) Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) team. Closing date: Midnight Thursday 3 September 2026 Interview date: Tuesday 8 September 2026 Application Questions (Qualifications) * Experience of understanding the needs of children and young people, aged 4–18, that display challenging behaviours. * Creative, flexible, highly organised and enjoy being part of a hugely supportive team. * Excellent listening and inter‑personal skills that allow you to ascertain a situation; support mainstream colleagues, parents and school leaders appropriately. Key Responsibilities BHISS-SEMH offers assessment, support, advice, training as well as direct in‑school interventions for children, from KS1‑5, whose behaviours are likely to mean they are at risk of suspension. Our key aims are to reduce fixed‑term suspensions, maintain children’s mainstream school and college placements as well as develop colleagues’ capacity to manage challenge. We also offer a variety of bespoke trainings and forums for staff, both 1‑1 and small groups, to discuss challenge as well as devise clear programmes of support for referred children. The ability to represent the team at multi‑disciplinary meetings across the city is vital. The role is challenging and will see you working peripatetic across the city. A high level of organisational ability and the ability to sympathetically understand individual challenges and adapt accordingly is crucial. Understanding trauma‑informed ways of working and the ability to write clear detailed reports are essential. We can offer a hugely supportive team ethic, training, regular supervision, and the chance to make a real impact whilst working across all the city’s schools. The ability to communicate sensitively and clearly with a wide range of individuals, through dynamic situations, and understand that challenging behaviours engender strong feelings amongst staff, parents, and the school community. This role would suit someone who thrives on a challenge but in the knowledge that you have the support of the team and the ability to further develop a whole range of skills in the area of SEMH.
