About the Role

- Experience supporting young people with behavioural, emotional or additional needs
(sports coaching, youth work, care work or school experience all considered)
- Someone reliable, calm and confident when responding to challenging situations
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with pupils
- An Enhanced DBS (or willingness to apply)
What the School Offers
- A small, supportive SEMH setting with a very high staff-to-pupil ratio
- A consistent, routine-based environment that helps pupils feel safe
- Opportunities for CPD, de-escalation training and behaviour support development
