You've supported people in care, Now help them shine in school"

If you've worked in care, residential support, youth work, or mental health, your skills are exactly what our SEND schools in Liverpool are looking for.

This is your chance to bring your compassion, emotional intelligence and trauma-informed approach into the classroom - helping children with autism, complex learning needs or social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges to thrive every day.

What's on offer:
* Term-time hours (Mon-Fri, school hours only) - perfect work-life balance
* Ongoing training & professional development
* Local placements across Liverpool
* A chance to transition from care to education with full guidance and mentoring

What we're looking for:
* People who can build trust-based, consistent relationships with children who may have experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
* A caring but professional approach - you'll show warmth and empathy while maintaining clear, healthy boundaries
* Strong communication and de-escalation skills - able to use empathy, patience, and creativity to help regulate emotions and behaviour
* Individuals passionate about inclusive education, emotional wellbeing and making a daily difference
* Must be able to provide two year's' worth of employment references

You already know how to stay calm in a crisis, celebrate small wins, and bring stability to someone's day - those are exactly the qualities our SEND schools value most.

Whether you're ready to move out of care or step confidently into education, we'll support you every step of the way.
