What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a dedicated, highly adaptable, experienced and energetic practitioner to work alongside pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. With comprehensive training, mentoring and support from our experienced SEMH Outreach Team, the successful candidate will work across many primary schools across the Greenwich Borough to support children with identified behavioural needs. You will have the chance to use your skills in a brand-new way, stretching your talents and supporting the children that need help the most.

Day-to-day you will model effective behaviour management strategies to teach pupils either 1:1, part of a small group or as part of a whole class situation.

Excellent people skills are necessary as you will be required to participate in strategy meetings with senior school colleagues, including other agency professionals, to ensure the best pupil outcomes are achieved.

Who are we?

Waterside is part of the Imperium Federation which incorporates our main SEMH site including our Nest, Nurture and Nook provisions. We support mainstream schools in dealing with challenging and difficult behaviours by providing professional advice and giving direct (hands-on) support with the aim of removing social and emotional barriers to learning.

It’s a hugely exciting opportunity to be part of a team whose work really can make a major difference.

  • You will need to cooperate with other key professionals, be ready to engage with parents, be tenacious, understanding and very good with people.

What the school offers its staff

We are committed to your professional development and offer a comprehensive CPD programme to ensure you are at the forefront of developments within the SEN and wider education sectors.

Further details about the role

The successful candidate will need to hold a clean and valid driver's licence and have access to a car (mileage allowance is payable).

Commitment to safeguarding

Waterside School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people - we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to pre-employment checks. References will be sought and successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
