• Supporting pupils to develop emotional regulation, resilience, and positive coping strategies
• Using restorative approaches and behaviour management techniques to de-escalate challenging situations
• Monitoring pupil progress, behaviour, attendance, and wellbeing, providing regular feedback to relevant staff
• Working collaboratively with teachers, parents, and external agencies to support positive outcomes
• Promoting a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for all pupils

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience working with secondary-aged pupils in a school, alternative provision, youth work, or similar setting
• Confident supporting young people with behavioural, social, emotional, or mental health needs
• Patient, resilient, and able to remain calm in challenging situations
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Able to establish trust while maintaining professionalism, consistency, and appropriate boundaries
• Proactive, adaptable, and committed to helping pupils achieve positive outcomes
• Passionate about supporting young people to re-engage with education

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Long-term opportunities offering stability and the chance to make a genuine impact
• Opportunity to secure a permanent position within the school
• Weekly pay through a straightforward digital system
• Free CPD opportunities, including Behaviour Management, Restorative Practice, Safeguarding, SEMH, and Positive Handling
