Job Description:

Do you care deeply about young people’s mental health and want to make a real difference? We’re looking for someone to join our alternative provision school in Gloucester, supporting pupils aged 11-16 who’ve had a tough time in mainstream education. This role goes beyond the classroom: it’s about helping young people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Our school provides a safe and inclusive environment for learners with SEMH needs, EHCPs, and complex backgrounds, including experiences of trauma, social challenges, and unmet special needs. We re-engage students through creative projects, sport, and the arts, giving them the chance to thrive both emotionally and academically.

Job Responsibility:

  • Act as a positive role model and mentor
  • Help pupils develop emotional regulation and social skills
  • Work closely with teachers and support staff to put tailored strategies in place
  • Take part in outreach activities and off-site learning
  • Provide consistent, hands-on support across our sites

Requirements:

  • Experience supporting young people with SEMH or SEN needs
  • Resilience
  • Empathy
  • Ability to build trust with young people who may have experienced trauma or exclusion
What we offer:
  • Competitive daily rate
  • Long-term stability
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Supportive team that values staff well-being
