Job description
At National Star we recognise that there are a range of issues outside of education that can have an impact on a learner’s life. National Star’s Emotional Wellbeing Service promotes good mental health and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), to enable our learners in getting the most from their social, educational, and life skills programmes.
We are looking for someone with experience of delivering high quality behaviour support to students or young adults with complex physical and learning disabilities and can assist with the emotional wellbeing needs of National Star students in a holistic and systematic way.
You will be joining our highly experienced Emotional Wellbeing department who offer a range of support including arts therapies such as drama and music, talking therapy, clinical psychology and positive behaviour support. The Emotional Wellbeing Assistant role is a stepping stone into the Emotional Wellbeing Service with the primary focus on offering administrative assistance, developing resources and working alongside Behaviour Support Practitioners and Therapists to support a specialist caseload of learners who have a range of needs, including behaviours of distress or concern.
It is a dynamic and creative team with an ethos in reflective practice, learning and development. We would expect you to have previous experience of working with young people and adults with a learning disability and/or mental health condition, ideally within an education or residential setting and will be able to make your own contribution to the team whilst using your own initiative working alongside a wide variety of professionals from all grades and discipline. A psychology background would also be an advantage but not essential.
Based at our Ullenwood campus on the outskirts of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (transport can be provided from Cheltenham or Gloucester), this will be a part time, term time only role working 26 hours a week. The full time equivalent salary for the role will be £23,761 – this will be adjusted for your working hours to an actual salary of c £14,030 pa.
