Emotional Support Worker

Looking for a role where every day truly matters? Join this amazing specialist school in Maidenhead, who support primary and secondary aged students with emotional regulation, social, and mental health needs and help them feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.

About Us

This school is a warm, welcoming space designed for young people who may find mainstream education overwhelming. Many of the students experience challenges with emotional regulation, social interaction, and mental health but here, they're met with patience, understanding, and genuine care.

They believe every child deserves to feel heard, valued, and capable of success and that's where you come in.

Your Role

As an Emotional Support Worker, you'll be a trusted adult, a calm presence, and a positive role model. You'll work closely with students who may feel anxious, frustrated, or disconnected, helping them build confidence, manage emotions, and develop meaningful relationships.

What you'll be doing:

Supporting students 1:1 and in small groups with their emotional and social development
Helping young people understand and manage their feelings in a safe, supportive way
Building strong, trusting relationships that help students feel secure
Supporting students through challenging moments with patience and care
Encouraging positive behaviour and celebrating small wins every day
Helping students develop social skills, confidence, and resilience
Working closely with teachers, families, and therapists to provide joined-up support

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

Calm, patient, and understanding
Passionate about supporting children with additional needs
Able to stay positive and consistent
Interested in emotional wellbeing, mental health, or education
Experienced in working with children or young people (this is a bonus, not a must!)

Key Details

Location: Maidenhead
Pay: £95-£110 per day (depending on experience)
Start Date: ASAP
Hours: Full-time, long-term
Setting: Specialist school (Primary & Secondary) supporting SEMH and complex needs

Why Join Us?

Every small breakthrough is a big win here.
