The school has a strong pastoral approach, with clear behaviour systems and a leadership team that are visible and supportive. Staff are encouraged to build positive, consistent relationships with pupils, creating a stable and structured learning environment.

The school is not easily accessible via local transport routes, so ideal candidates would be able to drive or be willing to travel for more than 30 minutes via public transport. On-site parking is offered.

You will be working closely with pupils who require additional support with emotional regulation, behaviour and engagement within the classroom. This is a relationship-led role, ideal for someone who can remain calm, consistent and patient.

You will:
• Support pupils with SEMH needs on a 1:1 and small-group basis
• Implement behaviour strategies and support emotional regulation
• Encourage engagement in learning activities
• Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils
• Work closely with the class teacher and SENCO

What We’re Looking For
• Experience supporting SEMH or challenging behaviour
• Calm, confident and resilient approach
• Strong relationship-building skills
• Ability to remain consistent and structured
• Good communication and teamwork skills

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to behaviour support within a warm and friendly school, allowing you to make a real impact. Apply now — the school are keen to meet suitable candidates quickly.
