Collaborating closely with SENDCos, pastoral staff, and external professionals

Helping maintain an inclusive, respectful, and calm learning environment

Acting as a trusted adult and advocate for students navigating complex personal or educational challenges

We're Looking For Someone Who:

Has a calm, empathetic, and trauma-informed approach to behaviour

Is committed to inclusion and understands the importance of stability and routine

Has experience supporting young people in education, care, youth work, or similar settings

Is confident supporting pupils with SEMH, ASD, or those at risk of exclusion

Can work flexibly within a multidisciplinary team

Holds an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or is willing to obtain one)

What You'll Gain:

A long-term, full-time position with the potential to go permanent

The opportunity to build lasting relationships and make a measurable difference

Weekly pay with competitive rates

Access to over 2,500 accredited CPD courses through The National College, including trauma-informed practice, restorative approaches, and mental health in schools

Ongoing support from an experienced team of education consultants who understand your role

This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to transition into specialist education, mental health support, or therapeutic roles in schools.

If you're ready to champion inclusion, build trust, and help young people re-engage with learning, we'd love to hear from you.
