The Opportunity
In this rewarding role, you will be making a profound difference every single day. As an experienced SEN TA / Behaviour Support Worker, your primary focus will be supporting pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, ADHD, and Autism, helping them de-escalate challenging situations and re-engage with their learning. We work with a variety of highly supportive primary, secondary, and alternative provision schools in the local area.

- Skills: Strong de-escalation skills, high emotional intelligence, and a calm, patient demeanor under pressure.
- Training: Team Teach, MAPA, or equivalent positive handling training is highly desirable, though not essential.
- Compliance: An enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one with us).
