We are looking to recruit Behaviour Support Workers for roles within multiple SEMH provisions across Preston. You will be working in a 1 to 1 capacity with students who have complex emotional and behavioural needs and will also have opportunities to be involved in small group sessions. These students are disengaged from mainstream education, have various additional needs and often come from traumatic backgrounds.
These provisions support secondary aged students, and one provision is an all-boys school.
