Take Your Residential Care Experience into the Classroom - Opportunities in Huddersfield

Are you currently working in residential care and thinking about a fresh, rewarding direction? Academics Educational Recruitment is working closely with schools and SEN provisions across Huddersfield who are keen to bring in skilled, caring individuals ready to make a difference in education.

Your experience supporting young people in care settings has already given you highly transferable skills - from managing challenging behaviour and supporting emotional wellbeing, to building trust and maintaining safe environments. These qualities are hugely valued within schools supporting pupils with additional needs.

Why consider a move into a school setting?

• Be part of a supportive educational environment
• Develop consistent, positive relationships with pupils
• Help students with SEN overcome barriers and succeed
• Benefit from more structured, predictable working hours

Who we're looking for:

• Background in residential care or similar support roles
• Confidence in managing behaviour positively and effectively
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• A genuine commitment to helping young people thrive

What you can expect from us:

• Competitive rates of pay
• Access to training and professional development
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
• Opportunities for both long-term placements and permanent roles

If you're ready to apply your skills in a new setting and have a lasting impact on young lives, we want to hear from you.
