Are you passionate about helping children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs thrive - both in and outside the classroom?
Do you have the resilience and enthusiasm to support students who learn differently and need consistent, compassionate guidance?

We are recruiting on behalf of a fantastic all-through SEMH school (Primary & Secondary) in Bath and surrounding areas, seeking dedicated Challenging Behaviour Support Workers to join their specialist team. This is a unique setting that places a strong emphasis on hands-on, experiential learning including gymnastics, forest school, swimming, and other therapeutic activities.

The Role:

• Supporting children aged 5–16 with SEMH needs and complex behavioural profiles.

• Working closely with students 1:1 and in small groups, encouraging participation in both classroom learning and therapeutic, outdoor or physical activities.

• Assisting pupils during enrichment sessions such as gymnastics, swimming, forest school, and sensory activities.

• Helping students regulate their emotions and re-engage with learning in a safe and nurturing environment.

• Collaborating with teaching staff, therapists, and wider pastoral teams to implement behaviour plans and personalised interventions.

About You:

• Experience supporting children or young people with challenging behaviour, SEMH, autism, or additional needs (in schools, care, youth work, or community settings).

• Confident, calm and consistent - with a natural ability to de-escalate situations and build trust.

• Physically active and comfortable engaging in a wide range of activities including swimming, outdoor learning, and movement-based therapy.

• Understanding of trauma-informed approaches and safeguarding best practice.

What You’ll Get:

• A unique opportunity to work in a setting that values holistic, practical learning and emotional development.

• Supportive agency consultants who understand SEMH education.

• Weekly pay and access to CPD and behaviour management training.

• Opportunities for long-term and permanent placements within a highly regarded SEMH provision.

• A chance to make a genuine, lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and young people.

What We’re Looking For:

• Genuine care and commitment to supporting vulnerable children and young people.

• Resilience, an open mind, and the ability to adapt quickly to challenging situations.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills, able to collaborate effectively with staff and external professionals.

• Experience working with children with SEMH, SEN, autism, or behavioural challenges (desirable).

• Active, hands-on and confident engaging in physical or outdoor activities.

• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply (we can support with this process).

This isn’t your average classroom, it’s a space where every child is given the tools, support and trust to grow.
If you’re ready to be part of a team that champions inclusion, resilience and personalised education, we’d love to hear from you.
