Location: Blackpool, Lancashire (FY Postcodes) Salary: 102.83 to 121.00 per day (dependent on experience) Employment Type: Full-time, Temporary to Permanent Start Date: Mid-June 2026 Are you an experienced Children's Residential Support Worker looking for a better work-life balance? Want to keep making a massive difference to vulnerable youth, but with no weekends, no sleep-ins, and set daytime hours ? We are seeking a resilient, empathetic practitioner to join a vibrant Blackpool Secondary School within their pastoral and behavioural support team. This role is designed for someone looking to transition out of residential care. Your background in crisis management, trauma-informed support, and building trust with complex young people makes you the perfect fit for a school-based inclusion environment. This position starts in mid-June 2026 on a temporary-to-permanent basis, allowing you to settle into the school environment before the end of term and secure a stable role ahead of the new academic year. How Your Residential Skills Transfer: From Care Plans to IEPs: You understand how to read and implement individual support and risk management plans. De-escalation & Calmness: You are used to high-acuity behavioural challenges; your ability to stay grounded under pressure is exactly what a school inclusion unit needs. Trauma-Informed Approach: You look past "acting out" behaviours to support the child's underlying social, emotional, and mental health needs. Multi-Agency Collaboration: You are already skilled at communicating with social workers, families, and therapeutic teams-skills that translate perfectly to working alongside teachers and SENDCOs. Key Responsibilities Inclusion & Hub Support: Work within the secondary school's internal inclusion or pastoral hub, supporting students (aged 11-16) who need time out of mainstream classrooms. Behaviour Mentoring: Deliver targeted 1:1 and small group interventions focused on emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and self-esteem. Attendance & Engagement: Identify barriers to learning and help disengaged students rebuild a positive relationship with education.
