Do you have a big heart, a great sense of humour, and a knack for helping kids who need a bit of extra support? We’re looking for a Behaviour Buddy to join our dynamic team at a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in Worthing.

About the Role: As a Behaviour Buddy, you will be supporting students who have struggled in mainstream education.

*Is relaxed and easy-going but firm when needed.
*Has an open mind and can adapt to meet the needs of each individual student.
*Remains calm under pressure and handles difficult situations with patience.
*Can work as part of a supportive team and contribute to a positive school culture.
Main Responsibilities:
*Providing 1:1 or small group support to students during lessons.
*Helping to de-escalate situations with a calm, measured approach.
*Joining the students during break times and lunch to build rapport and trust.
*Collaborating with teachers and staff to create a safe and inclusive learning environment.
Essential Requirements: *A driving license is required for this role.
*Previous experience is a bonus, but the right attitude and a willingness to learn are more important.
*A strong sense of humour and the ability to engage with students on their level.
*A flexible, open-minded approach to working with students with diverse needs.
*Needs GCSE Maths, English and Science to be considered for this role.
If you’re ready to be a Behaviour Buddy who makes a real difference, we want to hear from you! This is a challenging but hugely rewarding role where you can help students find their confidence and potential.
