Are you a Residential Worker looking to move into a Classroom Support role? We are looking for a resilient, high-impact Classroom Support Worker to join a Secondary School team in Preston. This is not a standard Teaching Assistant role; we are specifically seeking individuals with a background in Residential Child Care who understand the complexities of supporting vulnerable young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs. If you are tired of the irregular shift patterns, sleep-ins, and weekend work of residential care, this is your opportunity to use your specialised skill set in an educational setting with consistent term-time hours. Why your Residential experience translates to Classroom Support: Beyond TA Duties: Unlike a traditional TA, your focus is on emotional regulation, crisis de-escalation, and breaking down barriers to learning. Trauma-Informed Care: Your understanding of the "why" behind challenging behaviour is exactly what our students need to feel safe in school. Professional Boundaries: You are experienced in maintaining the balance between being a supportive mentor and a professional authority figure. Crisis Management: You remain calm and effective when a situation escalates, ensuring the safety of the student and the classroom. Key Responsibilities 1:1 Student Mentoring: Provide intensive support to students struggling to remain in lessons, helping them navigate the school day. Pastoral Intervention: Work outside the traditional classroom setting to help students manage anxiety, anger, or social challenges. Relationship Building: Use your "key worker" experience to build rapport with hard-to-reach teenagers. Reporting: Work with the school's pastoral team to track progress and incident reports. Requirements Background: Minimum 6 months experience in a Residential Children's Home or similar high-needs youth setting. Skill Set: Proficiency in de-escalation techniques (e.g., Team Teach, MAPA, or similar) is highly desirable. Availability: Must be able to commit to a full-time, long-term Monday-Friday schedule in Preston. Safeguarding: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service is preferred, or a willingness to apply for one. The Benefits Work-Life Balance: No more nights or weekends; enjoy every school holiday off. Consistent Pay: Competitive daily rates paid weekly. Career Evolution: A perfect pathway for those looking to move into School Pastoral Lead or SEN coordination roles. How to Apply Ready to take your residential experience into the classroom?
