About this role

Can you help us ensure every child can live a Life Worth Living?

Around 90,000 young people across the UK are persistently absent from education each year. At Nudge Education, we support children and young people who are disengaged from education through tailored mentoring and interventions that help them reconnect, rebuild confidence, and thrive.

About the Role

We are looking for compassionate and adaptable practitioners to deliver personalised 1:1 support to young people with SEN, SEMH, or additional needs.

This is a community-based role, working beyond traditional classrooms to create safe, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences.

You will:

  • Deliver tailored intervention sessions
  • Build positive and consistent relationships with young people
  • Monitor progress and report safeguarding concerns
  • Complete risk assessments and maintain accurate records
  • Work collaboratively with families, professionals, and regional teams

Who We’re Looking For

You may come from education, youth work, healthcare, social care, coaching, uniformed services, or other people-focused backgrounds.

We value empathy, resilience, creativity, and the ability to build trust with vulnerable young people.

Essential Requirements

  • Minimum 2 years’ relevant experience
  • Experience supporting young people with SEN and/or SEMH needs.  
  • Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
  • Right to work in the UK
  • Availability for at least 3 weekdays during daytime hours
  • ADHD / ADD Experience
  • Knowledge of Thrive Approach
  • Challenging Behaviour
Desirable:
  • Teaching or therapeutic qualifications 
  • SALT knowledge
  • Safeguarding or de-escalation training
  • Knowledge of ADHD, ASD, PDA and trauma-informed practice

Practicalities

  • Flexible opportunities based on location and student match
  • £16–£25 per hour for lead roles, plus agreed expenses
  • Monday–Friday daytime availability required
  • Consistent availability is essential to provide stability for young people

Equality & Inclusion

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. Due to the specific needs of some young people, there may be occasions where we recruit practitioners of a particular gender where this is a lawful Occupational Requirement under the Equality Act 2010.

Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All roles are subject to safer recruitment checks, including enhanced DBS and compliance vetting.

If you’re passionate about changing lives and supporting young people to re-engage with education, we’d love to hear from you.
