Hours: 30hours - Monday - Friday - 8:30 - 3:30pm, with some flexibility for training.

The role
Working alongside teachers and our SEND team, you will:

- plan, deliver and evaluate targeted interventions;
- support emotional regulation, positive behaviour and readiness to learn;
- contribute to individual plans, targets and EHCP provision;

- promote successful inclusion within the classroom and wider school;
- work positively with families and professionals; and

About you
You will be a calm, resilient and proactive practitioner who understands that behaviour is communication, while maintaining ambitious expectations for every child.
You will have:
- an appropriate Level 3 qualification or equivalent;
- experience of supporting children with SEND, SEMH and/or challenging behaviour;
- strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills;
- the ability to assess need and plan effective support;

Why Burscough Village?
Our values of Independence, Resilience, Team Work, Respect and Aspire shape everything we do.
We offer a welcoming, supportive team, opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a real difference to children with increasingly complex needs.
We are looking for someone who sees the child beyond the behaviour, builds relationships that make a difference and helps children develop the skills to succeed more independently.
