Summary

Behaviour Support Worker Location: Preston
Contract: Full-time, Monday to Friday
Hours: 8:30am - 3:30pm
Pay: £95-£105 per day
Start Date: January

We are looking to recruit Behaviour Support Workers for roles within multiple SEMH provisions across Preston. You will be working in a 1 to 1 capacity with students who have complex emotional and behavioural needs and will also have opportunities to be involved in small group sessions. These students are disengaged from mainstream education, have various additional needs and often come from traumatic backgrounds.
These provisions support secondary aged students, and one provision is an all-boys school.
Due to the nature of the students, you must be comfortable managing emotional dysregulation, challenging behaviour, and maintain a level of calmness when faced with aggression.

Your Role as a Behaviour Support Worker

- Provide classroom support across core subjects
- Work 1:1 with students.
- Help adapt activities to support different learning needs
- Encourage positive participation, focus and confidence in lessons
- Support the class teacher with learning resources and routines
- Contribute to a calm, safe and inclusive school environment


We're Looking For
- Experience supporting children or young people (school, tutoring, youth work, care, coaching all welcome)
- A proactive and patient approach
- Ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff
- Good communication and teamwork skills
- Commitment to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing
- Robust and comfortable with challenging behaviour

Previous experience is beneficial, but not essential. We welcome applications from graduates and career changers looking to start a rewarding role in education.

What the School Can Offer
- A supportive and welcoming staff team
- Ongoing training and development
- Opportunities to progress into specialised SEN support, HLTA or Teacher Training routes
- A role where you will genuinely make a difference every day
