This is an opportunity for someone who can build positive relationships, provide consistent support and help young people engage with education, even when they face challenges with behaviour, emotional regulation or school attendance.

We welcome applications from candidates with relevant experience in education, youth work, residential care, mentoring, sports coaching or supporting young people with additional needs.

• Supporting pupils who may have experienced barriers to mainstream education.
• Working alongside teachers, SEN staff and pastoral teams to support individual needs.
• Helping create a safe, structured and inclusive learning environment.
• Following safeguarding procedures and school policies at all times.

Relevant experience may include:

• SEMH, SEN or behaviour-support settings.
• Youth work, mentoring or pastoral support.
• Residential childcare or support work with young people.
• Sports coaching or other roles involving positive behaviour, boundaries and relationship-building.
• Supporting young people with additional learning, emotional or behavioural needs.

You should have strong communication skills, be able to remain calm under pressure and understand the importance of consistency, professional boundaries and safeguarding.
