Working on behalf of my client, a well respected secondary school in Leeds. I am searching for a Behaviour Support Workers who will be used for daily supply.

The school delivers a full time curriculum which includes Functional Skills Maths and English, Cultural development and life skills alongside site specific, vocational qualifications including Land Based Studies, Animal Care, Creative Media Production and Sport and Active Leisure.

As a Behaviour Support Worker, you will be working with individual or small groups of young people to support access to learning activities within the classroom. As many of the subjects studied also include practical work, you will also be required to give hands on assistance outside of the classroom which may include working with animals within the city farm.

To be considered for the Behaviour Support Worker role you should have:

• A minimum of 3 months' experience working within SEMH
• The ability to quickly build positive relationships with both staff and students.
• Resilience of dealing with complex situations that arise on a day to day basis
• Ideally you will be Team Teach trained however we have the option to be able to offer this training at a greatly reduced cost

This is a demanding role, working with young people who can display very challenging behaviour.
