Are you passionate about helping young people overcome challenges and achieve positive outcomes? Do you thrive in a role where every day brings opportunities to make a lasting difference?

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to join a highly regarded alternative education setting that specialises in supporting young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Rated Outstanding by OFSTED and recognised as a National Teaching School Hub, we are committed to creating an environment where every student feels valued, supported and able to succeed.

Our provision operates across four specialist campuses, each designed to meet the unique needs of the students who attend. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to develop confidence, independence, self-awareness and the skills needed to thrive both in education and beyond.

The approaches that underpin our work include PACE, trauma-informed practice, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Restorative Justice, Growth Mindset, Pro-social Modelling and Unconditional Positive Regard. Experience or knowledge of these approaches would be advantageous, but a genuine willingness to embrace and learn them is essential.

Why Join Us?

We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and recognise the emotional demands of working with vulnerable young people. In return, we offer:

• A caring, reflective and highly supportive staff team.
• Friday afternoons free.
• Comprehensive induction and ongoing professional development opportunities.
• A culture that celebrates personal growth, wellbeing and progress, not just academic results.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact on young people's lives.
• Free access to an Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work Scheme.
• Excellent opportunities for career development within a growing educational organisation that values kindness, creativity and collaboration.

About the Role

This position involves supporting students attending a specialist intervention programme for two days each week. These young people often experience significant social, emotional and mental health challenges that have affected their ability to engage successfully within mainstream education.

Your role will focus on helping students rebuild confidence, develop strategies for success and successfully transition back into their mainstream school placements following their intervention programme.

In addition, you will work directly within mainstream schools, supporting both students and staff. This may include delivering targeted interventions, helping implement strategies to improve engagement, and assisting schools in reducing the risk of exclusions.

About You

You will become part of an inclusive and collaborative team that works together to overcome challenges and secure the best possible outcomes for every student. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

To be successful, you will need:

• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• Flexibility, positivity and resilience when faced with challenges.
• A good working knowledge of basic IT systems and programmes.
• Access to your own vehicle with appropriate business insurance, as regular travel to local schools is required (mileage expenses are fully reimbursed).
