At Tradewind Recruitment, we are working closely with a specialist provision to recruit strong, resilient, and compassionate staff who can support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and challenging behaviour.
This is a highly rewarding role for individuals who are confident, patient, and committed to helping young people overcome barriers to learning. You will play a key role in supporting students to regulate their emotions, build positive relationships, and re-engage with education in a safe and structured environment.
We're looking for candidates who:
Have experience or a strong interest in SEMH, behaviour support, or youth work
Are calm under pressure and able to manage challenging behaviour positively
Build trust and rapport with students who may be disengaged from education
Use de-escalation strategies and a consistent, empathetic approach
Are resilient, reliable, and committed to making a difference every dayExperience in settings such as PRUs, alternative provisions, youth services, or care work is highly desirable-but not essential. A strong mindset, patience, and a proactive attitude are key.
By joining through Tradewind Recruitment, you will benefit from:
Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who understands SEMH settings
Competitive daily rates
Access to free CPD, including behaviour management and de-escalation training
Opportunities for long-term and permanent placements
Flexible working optionsIf you're looking for a role where no two days are the same-and where your impact is truly meaningful-this could be the perfect opportunity.
