Behaviour Support Worker job summary

We are delighted to offer a new opportunity for a committed and compassionate Behaviour Support Worker to join our Special Educational Needs Department, working closely with students who present with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This role is designed to provide targeted support to students who may require additional regulation strategies throughout the school day, with a strong emphasis on practical engagement and relational development.

Alongside supporting students within the classroom environment, this position offers the opportunity for the right candidate to facilitate practical activities—such as sport, engineering, and hands-on learning experiences—that promote emotional regulation, engagement, and positive behaviour. These activities will be tailored to individual student interests and needs, providing meaningful breaks and opportunities for self-regulation and reflection.

This position will involve working collaboratively with the SENCo and wider pastoral team to identify students requiring SEMH support and implement structured break and intervention sessions. The successful candidate will also contribute to the development of behaviour support strategies, monitor student progress, and maintain clear communication with staff to ensure a consistent and supportive approach.
