We are looking for flexible, reliable and resilient individuals to join a Secondary Alternative Provision in Accrington as Behaviour Support Workers on an ad hoc basis. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for casual or part-time work with the chance to make a meaningful impact.

About the Provision:

Alternative Provisions support young people who are unable to thrive in mainstream school settings.

The provision offers a tailored, supportive environment where relationships and consistency are key.

The Role:

• Provide 1:1 or small group support for pupils with behavioural needs

• Respond to behaviour incidents calmly and professionally

• Support students in lessons, during transitions and social times

• Work closely with staff to de-escalate situations and maintain a safe environment

• Build trust and rapport with students over time

Who We’re Looking For:

This role will suit someone who is:

• Calm, consistent and confident when faced with challenging behaviour

• Flexible and available for ad hoc work (often at short notice)

• Experienced in youth work, mentoring, support work, education or similar settings

• Passionate about making a difference to young people who need a second chance

This is a great opportunity to gain experience in an alternative education setting and be part of a supportive, experienced team focused on helping students succeed.
