Behavior & Pastoral Support Worker (Transferable Care Skills) Location: Burnley, Lancashire (BB10 - BB12 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 Burnley 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. Safeguarding: Actively maintain the highest safeguarding and child protection standards within the school environment. Requirements Experience: Minimum of 1-2 years within a Children's Residential Home, Youth Justice, or intensive Youth Work setting. Key Attributes: Exceptional resilience, strong boundaries, and a natural ability to connect with "hard-to-reach" teenagers. Qualifications: NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People (or equivalent social care/educational qualification) is highly valued. Compliance: Must hold an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to process a new one immediately for the mid-June start). Benefits & Structure True Work-Life Balance: Fixed daytime school hours (typically 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM), Monday to Friday. No nights, no bank holidays, and no unpredictable shift rotas. Competitive Daily Rates: Competitive pay from 102.83 to 121.00 per day, directly reflecting your specialised care experience. Local Commute: Save on travel-easy access for candidates living in Burnley, Padiham, Brierfield, Nelson, or Accrington. Stability: Kick-start a stable temp-to-perm pathway with a permanent school contract review.

As the first point of response for adults seeking help, C2C brings Occupational Therapists and Senior Occupational Therapists into a dynamic multidisciplinary team, working together through daily case reviews and rapid problem solving. The team leads on urgent assessments, safeguarding, risk management and short-term interventions, with direct access to services such as reablement, housing advice and technology-enabled care to put practical solutions in place quickly. By reducing delays, avoiding unnecessary handoffs and focusing on early, preventative action, the model enables occupational therapists to apply strengths-based practice, clinical reasoning and functional assessment at the earliest stage. Streamlined access and embedded best practice will ensure residents receive consistent, high-quality support from professionals with the right skills in the right place. Working alongside Area Teams, which provide longer term support for people with complex needs, C2C creates a seamless pathway that promotes wellbeing, reduces risk and maximises independence. This is an exciting chance for Occupational Therapists and Senior Occupational Therapists to help shape a modern, community-focused approach to Adult Social Care and play a central role in systemwide transformation.
