We’re working with a welcoming, community-driven primary school in BS11 looking for a calm, resilient 1:1 support professional to work with a child with SEMH needs.
This is a school that genuinely walks the walk when it comes to inclusion. Every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to grow, both academically and emotionally.
You’ll be joining a team that believes education is about the whole child, not just the timetable, and where relationships, consistency, and care come first.
What you’ll be doing
- Providing 1:1 support for a pupil with SEMH needs
- Building trust, routines, and a sense of safety
- Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour
- Working closely with teachers, SENDCo, and wider support staff
- Celebrating the small wins, because they matter here
What the school offers
- A supportive, inclusive environment where no child is left behind
- Strong focus on emotional wellbeing and personal development
- A team that values patience, empathy, and consistency
- A real sense of community, you’ll feel it from day one
What we’re looking for
- Experience with SEMH, SEND, or behaviour support
- Calm, patient, and able to stay grounded when things get tricky
- Someone who builds relationships first, everything else follows
- A team player who wants to make a genuine difference
What you’ll get from us
- Weekly pay from £14.30 per hour (PAYE, no umbrella faff)
- FREE access to our CPD Academy
- Ongoing support from a consultant who actually picks up the phone
- Opportunities to grow in SEND and specialist settings
This isn’t always the easiest role.
But it is one of the most rewarding.
You’ll be the person who makes school feel possible for a child who needs it most.
