Tradewind are working with a specialise in providing bespoke, individualised education for young people aged 10-19 who have EHC Plans for Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH), Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Specific Learning Difficulties.

The Role

As an Outreach Support Worker, you won't just be "staff"-you will be a mentor and a pillar of support. You will:

  • Develop and deliver personalised education programmes tailored to the specific needs of extremely vulnerable students.
  • Work with young people who may have complex psychological difficulties, helping them engage with learning in a way that works for them.
  • Foster an Attachment Aware approach to support, focusing on emotional health and wellbeing as the foundation for academic success.
  • Bridge the gap between home and school, ensuring our students have the stability they need to reach their full potential.

Our Ethos

We aren't a traditional school. We are a student-led, inclusive community owned and led by our Head and Deputy. We believe that behaviour is communication, and our "whole school approach" ensures that empathy and positive relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

What We Offer

  • A Diverse Curriculum: From KS2 through to KS5, we offer fully accredited programmes balanced with social, emotional, and therapeutic aspects to learning.
  • A Supportive Environment: You will work alongside a team with a wealth of expertise and a shared belief in the strengths of every individual.
  • A Mission with Meaning: Our goal is to maximise our students' chances of independence, helping them become positive contributors to society and live fulfilling lives.

About You

You are someone who refuses to give up on a young person. You have experience in SEMH or ASD, but more importantly, you have the patience, belief, and willingness to support students in all aspects of their development.

Location: Conveniently located in Leyland, just next to Junction 28 of the M6.
