Teaching Personnel are seeking a Behaviour and Inclusion Specialist to work as part of our SEN School team, supporting teachers in creating a positive, inclusive, and nurturing environment for learners with Additional Learning Needs (ALN). The ideal candidate will be proactive, adaptable, and eager to learn the best strategies for supporting students with a range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), and physical disabilities (PD). A calm, friendly approach and a genuine passion for helping every child thrive are essential

About the role:

As a Behaviour and Inclusion Specialist, you will work closely with specialist SEN teachers and behaviour management professionals to support learners aged 3–19 with a wide range of Additional Learning Needs (ALN).

As a Behaviour and Inclusion Specialist you will typically support small classes of 6–8 pupils and may also provide dedicated 1:1 support when required. This includes assisting with personalised learning programmes, implementing behaviour support strategies, and working alongside teachers to deliver planned lessons. In a 1:1 capacity, you’ll offer consistent, focused guidance both inside and outside the classroom, ensuring the pupil receives tailored support to meet their individual needs. This role is highly rewarding and requires a proactive, empathetic approach to help every child thrive.

Requirements:

• Previous experience working with ALN is preferred and any experience working in a SEN School is welcomed.
• A positive, can-do attitude, and sense of humour is essential for this role.
• A genuine passion working with those with ALN.
• Child and Adult Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (we can help with this!)
• Registration with the Education Workforce Council (we can help with this!)
