A welcoming and vibrant specialist school in Headington is looking for a dedicated Behaviour Support Worker to join their team, supporting children aged 5-16 with a range of additional needs.

About the School

• Delivering tailored interventions and individual support plans
• Building strong, trusting relationships with students
• Supporting emotional regulation, communication, and social development
• Working collaboratively with staff to provide consistent support

• A genuine interest in behaviour support and child development
• Confidence in building rapport and managing challenging behaviour
• Experience working with children or young people (preferred but not essential)
• An interest in education, psychology, mental health, or youth work would be an advantage
