This is a full-time opportunity working with pupils who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, behavioural difficulties, and additional learning needs.

• Monitor pupil progress and contribute to behaviour reviews and intervention planning
• Promote a safe, structured, and inclusive learning environment

Requirements:
• Previous experience supporting children with challenging behaviour within a primary, specialist, or alternative provision setting
• Experience supporting pupils with SEMH, Autism (ASD), or additional learning needs
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
• Calm, patient, and resilient approach to supporting vulnerable pupils
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Team Teach or equivalent behaviour management training is desirable
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting children’s wellbeing
