Learning Partner

Description

We are looking for an experienced, resilient and compassionate Learning Partner to work full-time in a primary school in North Bristol, providing dedicated 1:1 support for a child in Key Stage 2 with complex behavioural needs.

The role

Working closely with the class teacher and SEND team, you will:

Provide consistent 1:1 support throughout the school day

Build a positive, trusting relationship with the child

Use positive behaviour management strategies to encourage engagement and appropriate choices

Recognise potential triggers and use effective de-escalation techniques to prevent situations from escalating

Support the child with emotional regulation, communication and engagement with learning

Maintain clear, consistent and appropriate boundaries

Adapt your approach to meet the child's individual needs

Help create a safe, predictable and supportive school experience

What we're looking for

De-escalation and regulation strategies

Positive behaviour management

Identifying triggers and responding proactively

Remaining calm and consistent during incidents of challenging behaviour

Building relationships while maintaining clear boundaries

Supporting children with SEND, social, emotional or behavioural needs

Experience within SEND, education, behaviour support, youth work, mentoring, alternative provision or care would be particularly valuable.

You'll need to be patient, resilient, confident and empathetic, with the ability to look beyond the behaviour and understand what the child may be communicating.

This is a challenging but incredibly rewarding opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant difference to one child's experience of education.
