Classroom Support for Bracknell School

Do you have experience working with young adults or children with complex behaviour and/or learning difficulties?

Or perhaps you have a background as a Support Worker, Care Worker, Key Worker or Youth Worker and feel confident working with children?

Teaching Personnel are currently supporting a Social, Emotional and Mental Health provision located in Reading. The school provides specialist learning for children aged 5 - 11. These children and young people experience social, emotional, mental health, challenging behaviours and communication difficulties. The school's vision is to provide a structured and supportive approach with pupils accessing a broad and engaging education to meet their individual needs.

• Support students on 1:1, adapting your approach on a case by case basis in order to engage students effectively
• Help children with learning and development
• Coach, mentor and motivate children to understand the benefits of relevant activities

The ideal candidates/desired skills and experience:

• Great communication skills
• Have a nurturing approach
