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.
