Are you passionate about supporting children, young people, and families facing challenging circumstances? Whether you’ve worked in youth services, residential care, education, or community support, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
About The Role
As a Behaviour Support Worker, you will be working within the Intensive Personalised Support (IPS) team. IPS is an experienced and supportive team, and as a staff member, you will collaborate in delivering personalised, one-to-one support to children and young people across a variety of settings: at home, in schools, and within the community.

Key Duties and Responsibilities
Within this role, you will build trusting relationships with children, young people, and their families, delivering structured support plans tailored to each individual’s needs. You will work closely with clinicians and support colleagues to ensure a joined‑up, consistent approach, contributing to assessments and interventions under the guidance of our Clinical Lead. You will promote positive behaviour, emotional resilience, and personal development in young people, while maintaining accurate and professional records using digital tools and systems. This is a varied and rewarding position, ideal for someone with confidence in working independently whilst also valuing team collaboration.
