Key Responsibilities:
• Support students with SEMH in both their academic and personal development.
• Collaborate with teaching staff and the pastoral team to foster a safe and nurturing environment.
• Implement positive behaviour strategies, including those taught through Team Teach.
• Build strong, consistent relationships with students to help them re-engage in education and develop essential life skills.
What We’re Looking For:
• Experience working with children or young people with SEMH needs is highly desirable.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, resilient approach.
• Willingness to undertake further training, including Team Teach.
• A genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable students and helping them thrive.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dedicated and supportive team from the start of the new academic year in September. If you’re looking for a rewarding role where you can develop professionally and make a lasting difference in students' lives, we’d love to hear from you.
