Job overview
Are you looking for a job where you can make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged and deprived children with mental health issues? Then please read on. We are actively recruiting for an Education Support Worker to work with Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils that have Social, Emotional and Mental Health Issues. The successful candidate will be responsible for contributing to the welfare and safety of pupils whilst in school which will be made possible by being a good communicator, showing empathy and working with other staff members as a team. This role is mainly classroom based, but you would be expected to go on trips with pupils as rewards, or as part of a vocational course that they may be doing, so the successful candidate also needs to be extremely outgoing and flexible. Due to the nature of this job, and the pupils that you will be working with, you will have to show immense resilience and show unconditional support and consistency to the pupils that so badly need it. This post is a long term contract with school that will likely go permanent after a term, so the successful candidate will be wanting a full time permanent job as well. Please see below a list of other essential and desirable requirements:

Must be looking for a full time permanent job
