  • Plan and deliver small group interventions to support pupils' emotional wellbeing, social skills, and personal development.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils, helping them develop strategies to regulate their emotions and behaviour.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues, families, and external agencies to ensure pupils receive the support they need.
  • Monitor pupils' progress and contribute to support plans and reviews.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience of working with children or young people, particularly those with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs or challenging behaviour.
  • Is calm, patient, and able to build positive relationships based on trust and respect.
