Are you passionate about supporting young people who face emotional and behavioural challenges? Do you believe in the power of patience, empathy, and trauma-informed care? If so, we want to hear from you.

We’re looking for nurturing, resilient, and proactive individuals to work on a casual, ad-hoc basis in specialist education settings in the Norwich area. This role is ideal for those with an interest in behaviour support, dysregulation, and trauma-informed practices, and who are ready to make a meaningful difference—one relationship at a time.

The Role:

Provide 1:1 and small group support for pupils with SEMH needs
Help manage challenging behaviour with empathy and consistency
Build trusting relationships with pupils who may have experienced trauma
Support the class team in creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment

What You Need to Know:

Casual/supply work to cover staff absence and support school growth
Minimum 2 days availability per week
Full-day shifts only: 08:30 – 15:30
Work available Monday to Friday, term time only
Opportunities for longer-term placements for the right candidates

Who You Are:

Calm, compassionate, and emotionally intelligent
Genuinely interested in SEMH, trauma-informed approaches, and inclusive education
Able to stay grounded and positive in the face of challenging behaviour
Experience is a bonus, but attitude and commitment are everything

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to be a steady, supportive presence in a young person’s life.
