Behaviour Support & Pastoral Role – Bradford – Full-Time

Location: Bradford, West Yorkshire

We are seeking a highly capable, confident, and emotionally intelligent Behaviour Support Specialist to work within a dynamic and supportive secondary school in Bradford. This is not supervision — but intervention. If you are an experienced behaviour support worker with effective crisis de-escalation and student mentoring, this is your chance to play a pivotal role in a child's ability to re-engage with learning and succeed.

Responsibilities

  • Supervise and support pupils requiring additional behaviour support due to behaviour-related incidents
  • De-escalate challenging situations using trauma-informed and restorative approaches
  • Reinforce school behaviour policies with empathy and consistency
  • Mentor students on decision-making, accountability and reintegration strategies
  • Keep accurate records of attendance, conduct, and incidents
  • Liaise with senior leaders, behaviour managers, SEND teams, and parents/carers to support individual behaviour plans

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a behaviour, pastoral or mentoring role within a school or youth setting
  • Strong presence with the ability to lead calmly under pressure
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and emotional regulation
  • A thorough understanding of safeguarding, inclusion, and pupil wellbeing
  • Resilience, consistency and a solutions-focused mindset

Desirable (But Not Essential)

  • Team Teach / MAPA / Positive Handling or similar de-escalation training
  • Experience working with pupils with SEMH, trauma, ADHD or ASD
  • Understanding of behaviour policies, exclusions and reintegration practices
  • Experience delivering or supporting behaviour interventions or restorative sessions
  • Background in youth work, PRU (Pupil Referral Unit), or Alternative Provision is a bonus
