At Tradewind Recruitment, we are working closely with a specialist provision to recruit strong, resilient, and compassionate staff who can support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and challenging behaviour.
This is a highly rewarding role for individuals who are confident, patient, and committed to helping young people overcome barriers to learning. You will play a key role in supporting students to regulate their emotions, build positive relationships, and re-engage with education in a safe and structured environment.
We’re looking for candidates who:
*Have experience or a strong interest in SEMH, behaviour support, or youth work
*Are calm under pressure and able to manage challenging behaviour positively
*Build trust and rapport with students who may be disengaged from education
*Use de-escalation strategies and a consistent, empathetic approach
*Are resilient, reliable, and committed to making a difference every day
Experience in settings such as PRUs, alternative provisions, youth services, or care work is highly desirable-but not essential. A strong mindset, patience, and a proactive attitude are key.
By joining through Tradewind Recruitment, you will benefit from:
*Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who understands SEMH settings
*Competitive daily rates
*Access to free CPD, including behaviour management and de-escalation training
*Opportunities for long-term and permanent placements
*Flexible working options
If you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same-and where your impact is truly meaningful-this could be the perfect opportunity.
Apply today with Tradewind Recruitment and help support young people to succeed beyond their challenges.
