My client, an outstanding, Independent Specialist Provision in Kent, is seeking a confident, committed, and caring Support Worker to join their team.
The school strives to improve the life chances of the students they work with. Going above and beyond, they set high expectations and work together with staff, the local community and external agencies to improve outcomes.
You will be a hard working, caring, positive and motivated professional who will ideally have experience of working with children with SEMH and associated learning and behaviour challenges.
They are looking to appoint an outstanding behaviour or mental health Support Worker starting in March 2024 (or as soon as is possible!). You will nurture and inspire a small group of SEMH pupils aged between 9 - 17 or 17 - 25. Experience of working within a specialist provision will be an advantage but mainstream colleagues are extremely welcome to apply. You will need to be calm, flexible, resilient and most of all loving.
