Behaviour Buddy

Behavioural Buddy- Alternative Provision – Bradford

Engage Education are currently working in partnership with an alternative Provision based in Bradford who are looking for an additional Behavioural Buddy to work in their specialist provision on an exciting new position specifically to support learners with challenging behaviours and SEMH.

Many of the behaviours stem from children having additional needs such as Autism, or being looked after children whilst they're estranged from their families which is causing dysregulation with their behaviour whilst they're in education.

Having previous experience working with people with Autism or challenging behaviours – both children and adults – will be a strong advantage! Anyone from a care, support worker or youth worker is encouraged to apply.

We can provide training to any candidates who show a real passion and eagerness to learn, however, the ideal candidate must have good behaviour management.

Your Role:

• Supporting learners on a one-to-one basis with complex needs
• Working with other support staff to engage pupils in class
• Providing feedback to teachers and parents

The School:

This school strives to give their pupils a fresh approach to learning. They encourage pupils to continue their educational progress both within the time they are there and when they are ready to move on to other schools and establishments.

This provision recognises the need to address both the social and emotional needs of their pupils alongside and in conjunction with their educational needs.

What you will need:

• A range of behaviour management techniques
• To have worked with learners with a range of needs
• The ability to engage a young person in learning through a range of methods
• To be able to commit to working at the school for long period of time
• A resilient attitude
