Pastoral Support Worker job summary
Mabel Prichard School is recruiting a pastoral support worker who will work supporting the specific needs of children with high levels of anxiety, cognition and learning and autistic spectrum conditions.
The role of the PSW involves setting appropriate boundaries for students who have additional behavioural needs and may exhibit complex barriers to learning. You will take a resilient and instinctive approach in meeting our students’ needs and will be prepared to undertake restrictive physical interventions following training. You will have the ability to use behaviour management strategies effectively and be able to work using your own initiative while following policies and procedures to deliver positive outcomes. You will support colleagues within the class environment as well as contributing to specific interventions designed to encourage engagement with learning and development of social and independence skills.
You will demonstrate a high level of flexibility and will welcome the opportunity to work in different settings with different approaches to engage learners. You will be capable of establishing a rapid rapport with colleagues and students and will relish the opportunity to extend your skills and experience in the SEND arena.
If you share our passion for making a real difference to the lives of children and young people with special needs, this is an opportunity to work in a successful and thriving SEND school where you could make a real difference to our students’ lives. In return for your contribution to our team, you will work in an organisation which will support your career development, in a role which is rewarding and fulfilling.
