Are you a passionate and experienced Behaviour Support Worker with a strong ability to manage challenging behaviours? Do you have the resilience to embrace the chaos of a busy classroom and a sense of humour that can lift even the most challenging situations? If so, we want to hear from you!

PK Education is working with a fantastic primary school near Farnley who are looking for a Year 2 Behaviour Support Worker to join their team on a full-time, temp-to-perm contract. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to children, particularly those facing disadvantage and SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs.

What’s the role about?

You will work alongside a supportive and dynamic team, providing one-on-one and group support to pupils in Year 2 with additional behavioural needs. The role will involve:

Supporting children with SEMH needs, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and engaged in their learning.
Applying confident and strong behaviour management techniques to maintain a positive classroom environment.
Encouraging a positive mindset and supporting children in developing resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation.
Embracing the beautiful chaos that comes with a busy classroom, staying calm and focused in the face of challenging situations.
Working closely with teachers and the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to create personalised support plans.
What are we looking for?

Experience working with children with SEMH, special needs, or challenging behaviour – this is a must!
Confidence and strength in behaviour management – you should have proven strategies and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
Patience, resilience, and a sense of humour – the ability to build positive relationships with children, even in the most testing circumstances.
A genuine passion for making a real impact and helping disadvantaged children thrive in their education.
A proactive, energetic approach to supporting pupils both academically and emotionally.
No day will be the same, so the ability to adapt and stay positive is key!
Why work with us?

A fantastic team of staff who are supportive, approachable, and share a good sense of humour.
Opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children, particularly those who need it the most.
A rewarding role that will allow you to grow in your career and help vulnerable children build confidence and achieve their full potential.
Potential for a permanent contract for the right person after a successful temporary period.
PK Education is a highly regarded education recruitment agency, offering full support throughout your placement and access to over 100+ CPD courses.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives on making a real difference and is ready to embrace the challenges and rewards that come with supporting children with SEMH needs. If you have the relevant experience and want to be part of a team where you can grow, develop and have fun, apply now!
