Are you looking for a role working with children with social, emotional and mental health needs, where you can have a positive impact on their life? Are you confident, and open to new challenges? This role could be for you!
About the school:
Based in Chesterfield, this pupil referral unit caters to children aged 11-16 years with severe social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH). Most students attending the school have behavioural difficulties and associated disorders which have caused problems in mainstream schools and led to exclusions. Each member of staff is fully committed to improving the outcomes of the students and supporting them back into mainstream education.
About the Role:
Working as a behavioural support assistant you will provide support for students with SEMH needs who may find it difficult or be reluctant to engage in education. This will include building rapport with students and creating positive relationships which influence them to regulate their behaviour. You will work 8:30 - 4:30pm Monday - Friday. You may be required to drive between sites in Sheffield, so being a driver with a car is essential.
What we need from you:
If you have previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant/support worker or are passionate about improving the outcomes for young people, this is the role for you. As an individual you will be outgoing and confident in your abilities to deal with behavioural difficulties and re-engaging students in education.
