Intervention Support Worker

Intervention Support Worker

Bolton | Temp-to-Perm | Full-Time

Monarch Education is recruiting on behalf of an alternative provision in Bolton that supports young people aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).

This is a rewarding opportunity for individuals who are passionate about supporting vulnerable young people and helping them overcome barriers to learning, emotional regulation and engagement.

The school follows a trauma-informed approach and uses the PACE framework (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) to create a safe, supportive environment where pupils can thrive. Many students have experienced adverse childhood experiences and benefit from positive, consistent relationships with trusted adults.

We are seeking resilient, empathetic and relationship-focused individuals who can remain calm under pressure, support pupils through challenging situations and act as positive role models throughout the school day.

Key Responsibilities

• Support pupils with SEMH, ASC and additional behavioural needs
• Build strong, trusting relationships with young people
• Deliver targeted one-to-one and small-group interventions
• Support pupils during periods of emotional dysregulation
• Implement behaviour support and emotional regulation strategies
• Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists and pastoral teams
• Promote engagement in education and personal development
• Provide consistent encouragement and positive role modelling

Essential Requirements

To be considered for this role, you will:

• Have experience working with children or young people with SEMH, SEND, ASC or behavioural needs
• Demonstrate a trauma-informed approach to behaviour support
• Possess strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Be calm, resilient and professional in challenging situations
• Have a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people
• Hold a full UK driving licence
• Have access to your own vehicle
• Hold business-use insurance

Due to the nature of the role, there may be occasions where pupils require support away from the classroom environment, accessing approved community facilities such as libraries, sports centres and other local resources as part of planned interventions.

We welcome applications from candidates with experience in:

• SEMH Schools
• Alternative Provision
• Youth Work
• Children’s Residential Care
• Support Work
