Do you enjoy building positive relationships, staying calm under pressure and helping young people make better choices?
We are looking for a resilient, patient and compassionate Behaviour Support Worker to join a specialist provision in Shildon, supporting pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs who have been permanently excluded from mainstream education.

This is not a traditional classroom role. It's about mentoring, supporting, encouraging and helping young people overcome barriers to learning. Every day is different, and no two students are the same.

We're far more interested in who you are than the job title you've had.

You may have experience in:
Youth work or mentoring
Residential childcare or supported living
Care work
Security or the prison service
The Armed Forces, Police,...
