Are you calm under pressure, quick to laugh, and able to bounce back when things get tough?
This SEMH specialist school in Worthing supports pupils aged 6–18 with emotional and behavioural needs, many of whom also have ADHD or Autism. The team here is looking for resilient, warm-hearted individuals who bring energy, humour, and consistency to their work.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a natural rapport with young people, perhaps gained from personal experience or voluntary work — or someone looking for a new challenge in specialist education.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Building consistent, trusting relationships with students

  • Supporting learning in the classroom alongside experienced teachers and therapists

  • Helping students regulate emotions and stay engaged in lessons

  • Modelling calm, respectful behaviour and de-escalating challenges

  • Working creatively to re-engage students in education

We’re Looking For:

  • A team player with a good sense of humour and strong emotional resilience

  • Someone with experience (formal or informal) supporting children with SEMH or behavioural needs

  • A reliable and proactive person who’s not afraid of hard work

  • The ability to manage challenging situations in a calm, consistent manner
