This is a rewarding opportunity to work across the school, supporting pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, helping them build confidence, improve emotional regulation and positively engage with education. The school is looking for someone who can provide a calm and consistent presence for pupils who may present with behavioural challenges, emotional difficulties or additional SEN needs.

• Have strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
• Understand trauma-informed approaches and emotional regulation strategies
• Have experience delivering pastoral or wellbeing interventions
• Can confidently build positive relationships with pupils and families
• Work well as part of a wider pastoral and safeguarding team
• Have DSL or safeguarding training (desirable but not essential)

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
• No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
• Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.
