This full-time position offers a unique chance to make a real difference to the lives of secondary-aged students who are not currently accessing mainstream education.

The provision caters to pupils in Key Stages 3 and 4, many of whom face social, emotional, or behavioural difficulties. As a behaviour support practitioner, you'll work closely with these young people to help them re-engage with their learning journey and develop positive coping strategies.

• Establish safe, trusting relationships that motivate and support students on a daily basis.

• Track progress and adjust your approach in response to individual needs.

• Collaborate with staff and external professionals to provide cohesive support plans.

• Prior experience working with students who present challenging behaviour or have additional needs.

• A calm, adaptable nature and a strong sense of empathy.

• Background in education, youth work, mental health, or related support roles is advantageous.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly.

• A genuine desire to support young people through positive behaviour support approaches.

• A long-term opportunity with the possibility of a permanent contract.

• Competitive pay, paid weekly via PAYE.

• Trial days available, giving you the chance to visit the provision before committing.

• Free access to CPD including training in de-escalation and behaviour support techniques.

• Dedicated guidance from your recruitment consultant throughout your placement.
