Behaviour Mentor

Behavioural Support Worker - Rustington

Engage Education are currently working in partnership with a local SEND Secondary school on an exciting new SEND TA position specifically to support learners with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs in the Rustington area.

Starting immediately, the school is looking for an SEMH Support Worker to join them on a long term basis. If successful during the probationary period, this will lead into a permanent role.

This role is within one of our Pupil Referral Units, meaning there will be a range of behavioural needs within the provision. Having previous experience working with people with challenging behaviours - both children and adults - will be a strong advantage! Anyone from a care, support worker, security or youth worker is encouraged to apply.

This position would also be well suited to anyone without experience but with the right qualities - particularly being very resilient! We can provide training to any candidates who show a real passion and eagerness to learn.

Your Role:

• Supporting learners on a one-to-one basis often with complex behavioural 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 in their alternative provision setting. 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
