Providing 1:1 and small-group support to young people with SEMH and behavioural needs.
Supporting students who may display challenging behaviour, emotional dysregulation or difficulties engaging with education.
Encouraging positive choices, self-confidence, resilience and emotional regulation.
Supporting social development, teamwork, communication and independent skills.
Delivering or supporting structured activities, including sports and physical activities where appropriate.
Working alongside teachers, pastoral teams and other professionals to provide consistent support.
Helping create a safe, structured and supportive environment.
Potential opportunities for outreach work, supporting young people outside the classroom.
