Location: Bristol
Job Type: Permanent

Salary: £14.30 - £15.70/hour
Job Published: 24 March 2026

Some children don’t need louder instructions.
They need someone who understands them.

We’re looking for a patient, grounded 1:1 support professional to work with a pupil with SEMH needs in a Bristol (BS11) primary school that truly puts relationships first.

This is a setting where belonging, respect, and emotional growth are part of everyday life, not just words on a wall. Staff work together to create a calm, consistent environment where children feel safe enough to learn and grow.

Your role?

  • Be a steady presence
  • Build trust, day by day
  • Help a child navigate big emotions in a busy classroom

It won’t always be easy. But when it clicks, it really clicks.

What you’ll get:

  • £14.30+ per hour, PAYE (no umbrella nonsense)
  • Weekly pay
  • Free CPD, including Thrive training
  • A consultant who’s got your back

You’ll thrive here if you are:
Calm. Patient. Resilient. The kind of person who doesn’t give up on a tough day.
