Make a Real Difference Where It Matters Most

Do you have a heart for helping children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) thrive? Are you looking for a role where your compassion, patience, and experience can genuinely change the course of a young person's life?

We are seeking a passionate, experienced Behaviour Support Worker to join a dedicated specialist team in Kettering.

This isn't just a job—it’s an opportunity to act as a mentor, advocate, and steady anchor for students aged 11–16 (Key Stage 3 & 4) who face social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) challenges. If you are deeply motivated by seeing young people overcome barriers and achieve their full potential, this is where you belong.

Your Responsibilities

  • Empower & Mentor: Work 1:1 and in small groups to build strong, trusting relationships, encouraging both emotional resilience and academic progress.
  • Support Tailored Learning: Collaborate with teachers to deliver personalized activities and Individual Support Plans (ISPs) designed around each child's unique needs.
  • Positive Behaviour Guidance: Apply empathy and proactive de-escalation strategies to help students navigate complex emotions and choices safely.
  • Celebrate Progress: Track milestones and champion every win—no matter how small—building confidence in students who need it most.
  • Work as a Team: Serve as a compassionate connection between the school, families, and support agencies to ensure a holistic approach to student care.

What We Are Looking For

  • Genuine Passion: A deep, heartfelt commitment to advocating for SEN children and making a positive impact every day.
  • Essential Experience: Proven prior experience working with children or young people with SEND, SEMH, or complex behavioral needs.
  • De-escalation Skills: Team Teach trained (or a strong willingness to undertake training).
  • Calm & Resilient Character: Exceptional listening skills, emotional maturity, and the ability to remain calm and supportive in challenging moments.
  • Compliance Requirements
    • Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply).
    • Full Right to Work in the UK.
    • Relevant overseas criminal record checks if applicable.

Why Join Teaching Personnel?

  • Competitive daily pay, paid weekly.
  • A dedicated consultant who knows the Northamptonshire education sector inside out.
  • Free and discounted access to our CPD Academy (great for expanding your SEN knowledge or progressing toward Educational Psychology, Teaching, or Social Work).
