About the Role
You’ll play a key part in supporting learners who may experience barriers to behaviour, learning, communication, or engagement. Working closely with education and care teams, you’ll help create a safe, positive environment where people can thrive.
- Mentor and support learners by building trusting relationships and offering encouragement that meets individuals where they are.
- Promote positive behaviour using consistent approaches, de-escalation techniques, and clear boundaries.
- Assist learning and engagement by breaking tasks down, reinforcing understanding, and supporting progress in lessons and structured activities.
- Contribute to planned interventions, including behaviour support strategies and learning plans, in line with agreed targets.
- Support daily routines to help learners feel secure and capable—whether at the start of the day, during transitions, or through recovery after setbacks.
- Record and report relevant observations using appropriate systems, ensuring communication across the team is accurate and timely.
- Work collaboratively with teachers, support staff, families, and other professionals to ensure support is joined up and meaningful.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have all the answers—you do need the right mindset. We’re looking for someone caring, resilient, and confident in their ability to support individuals with patience and consistency.
