A specialist education setting in Gloucester is looking for a dedicated and resilient Behaviour Support Worker to join their team. You'll be supporting students who may experience social, emotional and mental health needs, behavioural challenges and barriers to learning.

- Encourage positive behaviour, emotional regulation and engagement with learning
- Help students develop confidence, independence and positive coping strategies
- Support students who may struggle within a mainstream classroom environment

- Help create a calm, safe and positive learning environment
- Gain valuable hands-on experience working with young people with SEMH needs
- Develop your understanding of behaviour, emotional regulation and additional needs
- Excellent experience for aspiring Clinical, Educational or Forensic Psychologists
- Build experience that can lead towards careers in psychology, mental health, youth work or education
- A Psychology graduate or studying towards a related degree
- Experienced in youth work, support work, education or mentoring
- Passionate about supporting young people with additional needs
- Confident, patient and resilient
- Able to build positive relationships with challenging or vulnerable young people
