Temp to Perm Opportunity

Do you believe that behaviour is communication?

A brand-new specialist SEN school in Nuneaton is seeking a compassionate and resilient Trauma Informed Practitioner to support pupils who have experienced adversity and require a consistent, nurturing and therapeutic approach to education.

This is far more than a classroom support role. You'll become a trusted adult, helping young people build confidence, regulate emotions and develop the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

What you'll be doing:

• Creating safe and supportive relationships with pupils.
• Using trauma-informed strategies to encourage emotional regulation and positive engagement.
• Supporting learners on a one-to-one basis and within small groups.
• Promoting independence, confidence and self-esteem.
• Working collaboratively with teachers and wider professionals to provide a consistent approach.

Who would thrive in this role?

You may already have experience in:

• Children's residential care.
• Family support or outreach work.
• Youth work or mentoring.
• Alternative provision settings.
• SEN or therapeutic environments.
• Pastoral support roles.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is patient, empathetic and able to remain calm in challenging situations.

Please note: This role includes elements of personal care and requires strong behaviour management skills. Candidates must be confident using de-escalation techniques and supporting pupils who may display challenging behaviours.

Joining this new specialist setting offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable young people, with the potential to secure a permanent position for the right candidate.
