Salary: £95-£115 per day / £475-£575 per week
Contract: Full Time, Term Time Only

Are you resilient, confident, and passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to learning?

We are recruiting for a specialist SEN school supporting children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Many pupils have experienced significant challenges in their lives and can present with behaviours that challenge. We are looking for strong, capable individuals who can build positive relationships, maintain clear boundaries, and help pupils achieve their full potential.

Previous school-based experience is desirable but not essential. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with backgrounds in:

* Residential care

* Youth work

* Youth offending services

* Prison services

* Mental health support

* Behaviour support

* Social care

* Armed forces

* Support work

If you have experience working with vulnerable young people or individuals who require patience, structure, and consistency, your skills could be highly transferable to this role.

The Role

* Supporting pupils with SEMH needs both in and out of the classroom

* Managing and de-escalating challenging behaviour positively and professionally

* Building trusting relationships with pupils who may struggle to engage with education

* Supporting learning, emotional regulation, and personal development

* Working closely with teachers, therapists, and wider support staff

What We're Looking For

* A resilient, calm, and confident approach

* Strong communication and relationship-building skills

* The ability to remain professional under pressure

* A genuine passion for supporting vulnerable young people

* Flexibility, reliability, and a positive attitude

Desirable

* Level 3 qualification in Supporting Teaching & Learning, SEN, Childcare, or equivalent

* Previous experience supporting children with SEMH needs

* Behaviour management or intervention training

What You'll Receive

* Ongoing training and development

* Supportive leadership and staff team

* The opportunity to make a genuine difference in young people's lives

* A rewarding and varied working environment

Why Join Revolve Collective? (The Benefits)

We believe our support staff are the backbone of the classroom. When you join us, you get more than just a shift:

Competitive Weekly Pay: Excellent daily rates from £95, paid into your account every Friday.

Wellbeing First: We are the only agency offering dedicated Wellbeing Days and access to paid leave to ensure you stay refreshed.

Expert Coaching: Friendly, experienced consultants who provide tips on behaviour management and CV building.

This role would suit someone who wants more than just a job. It is an opportunity to positively impact the lives of children who need strong role models, consistency, and support to succeed
