Behaviour And Wellbeing Support Worker

Whittington Green School Governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and suitably experienced Behaviour and Wellbeing Support Worker. 

This post will involve working in a small team to positively support the Behaviour and Wellbeing of our students, including the delivery of our Forest School programme. 

Your role will be to provide a safe and calm environment where students can de-escalate and re-engage in learning. This will involve supporting students to be successful in their learning through a real focus on improving life and social skills through a range of activities from one to one support/counselling to extra-curricular projects with small groups. It will also involve the delivery of our behaviour programme and the facilitation of some lessons within Student Support. 

You will liaise with student support staff, teaching staff, SENDCO and parents in order to plan for, track and monitor the key identified students. 

You will be part of a team which looks behind the behaviours or emotional difficulties and tries to meet the needs of our students in order to work with them effectively. They are the team who bridge that gap between pastoral and academic and pride themselves on helping students to value themselves and their work. 

Previous experience of working with students with a variety of learning needs is essential.
