- Assist in managing behaviour using agreed strategies and approaches
- Act as a consistent and positive adult role model
- Help pupils develop coping strategies and emotional awareness
- Encourage participation in lessons and structured activities
- Support transitions and unstructured parts of the school day
- Work closely with teachers and wider support staff We are keen to hear from candidates with backgrounds in: - SEMH or behaviour support settings
- Pupil Referral Units or Alternative Provisions
- Youth Work, mentoring or outreach roles
- Care, support work or community‑based roles
- Schools or educational environments The successful candidate will: - Be resilient and confident in managing behaviour
- Communicate effectively with young people and staff
- Remain calm and consistent in challenging situations
- Build strong working relationships with pupils
- Be committed to supporting long‑term positive outcomes Requirements - Full‑time availability, Monday to Friday
