Therapeutic Engagement Support Practitioner (SEMH / SEND)

Salary: £25,350 - £31,200 FTE, pro rata, depending on experience and qualifications

About Sense Inclusion

Sense Inclusion CIC provides therapeutic alternative provision for children and young people who find traditional education settings overwhelming or inaccessible.

Based within Robin Hill Country Park, we offer a calm, nature-based environment and a relational, trauma-responsive approach. Many of the children and young people we support have complex SEND, SEMH and developmental trauma needs.

We are a close-knit, experienced team with high staff-to-child ratios, strong staff retention and a commitment to doing things differently when it benefits the child.

About the Role

We are looking for a compassionate, patient and reliable Therapeutic Engagement Support Practitioner to work directly with children and young people within our centre and through community outreach.

You will help young people to feel safe, regulate, build trust, engage in activities and access education and wellbeing support. Sessions may be delivered on a 1:1, 2:1 or small-group basis.

The role includes:

Building safe, trusting and consistent relationships
Providing calm, attuned and trauma-responsive support
Supporting therapeutic, educational, creative, sensory, outdoor and life-skills activities
Responding safely to anxiety, distress, shutdown, avoidance or dysregulation
Supporting transitions, routines, boundaries and emotional safety
Following individual plans, EHCP outcomes, risk assessments and safeguarding procedures
Working alongside Session Leads, Case Managers, Tutors and Therapists
Recording key observations and contributing to session notes and reviews

About You

You will be:

Calm, caring and emotionally consistent
Confident in supporting children who may struggle to trust adults
Reliable, flexible and committed to high professional standards
Able to recognise behaviour as communication
Comfortable holding clear boundaries with care and kindness
Willing to take part fully in child-led activities
Reflective, resilient and able to work well within a team

Experience

Experience in one or more of the following would be helpful:

SEND, SEMH or developmental trauma
Autism, ADHD, FASD, anxiety, attachment needs or sensory processing differences
Alternative provision or therapeutic education
Youth work, social care or mental health support
Outdoor learning, sensory fitness or trauma-informed practice

The right values, attitude and ability to build safe, professional relationships are equally important.

Essential Requirements

Experience working with children or young people with SEND or SEMH needs
Ability to remain calm and consistent during challenging situations
Understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries
Ability to follow support plans, policies and risk assessments
Basic IT and record-keeping skills
Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for outreach work

A relevant Level 3 or higher qualification, safeguarding training, first aid, mental health first aid or experience within therapeutic provision would be desirable.

What We Offer

Term-time-only working
Flexible and school-friendly hours
Six weeks’ paid holiday, pro rata
Clinical supervision and reflective practice
High staff-to-child ratios
Ongoing training and professional development
Mileage payments for outreach work
Career progression opportunities
A supportive team and a beautiful nature-based setting
A meaningful role where relationships make a genuine difference

Safeguarding

Sense Inclusion is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
