About the Role

You’ll play a key part in supporting learners who may experience barriers to behaviour, learning, communication, or engagement. Working closely with education and care teams, you’ll help create a safe, positive environment where people can thrive.

• Mentor and support learners

• Promote positive behaviour
  using consistent approaches, de-escalation techniques and clear boundaries.
• Assist learning and engagement
  by breaking tasks down, reinforcing understanding, and supporting progress in lessons and structured activities.
• Contribute to planned interventions
  , including behaviour support strategies and learning plans, in line with agreed targets.
• Support daily routines
  to help learners feel secure and capable—whether at the start of the day, during transitions, or through recovery after setbacks.
• Record and report
  relevant observations using appropriate systems, ensuring communication across the team is accurate and timely.
• Work collaboratively
  with teachers, support staff, families and other professionals to ensure support is joined up and meaningful.

What we’re looking for

• Experience of working with young people or vulnerable adults, either in education, care, youth support or another relevant setting.
• A good understanding of
  behaviour as communication
  and the importance of early, proactive support.
• Ability to remain
  calm and consistent
  during challenging moments, using de-escalation and positive engagement.
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to build rapport with learners and communicate effectively with colleagues.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail for recording and follow-up.
• Willingness to learn and take part in training, development and supervision.
