We are currently looking for an outreach worker to join the dynamic SEMH Team. Applications are invited from experienced, enthusiastic, innovative practitioners keen to develop their knowledge and practice of working with children within the primary sector who are struggling to manage.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate an ability to share their understanding and model how to support children with SEMH.
