About the Role

Be the steady presence that makes school feel safe.

  • Building trusting relationships and helping students manage emotions and behaviour


  • Encouraging engagement with learning—sometimes in the classroom, sometimes in quieter spaces


  • Working with staff, families, and specialists to support each child’s progress

  • You’d be a great fit if you:



  • Have experience with SEMH, trauma-informed care, or behaviour support (in schools or elsewhere)...
