Behaviour Support

An amazing alternative provision for primary school children is looking for behaviour support to work one-to-one with its pupils. The pupils all have some form of Social, Emotional, Mental Health that requires them to have additional support during their time in education.

The school is seeking new members of staff to join the team that are able to make a difference with the pupils, work closely with them and build a level of trust that allows them to provide the right care. The pupils are often shy and reserved, often finding it difficult to adjust to change, and do not respond well to new faces straight away. The right candidates are approachable, friendly and experienced in supporting SEN pupils and exercise several techniques to tailor their approach to the pupils' needs.
