About the Role
At Westbourne School, we're looking for a compassionate, confident and resilient Student Support Coach to join our Student Services Team and make a real difference to young people who need additional support to succeed.
Our school supports students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, including students with autism or associated behaviours. We understand that every student is different, and that building positive relationships, providing consistency and recognising individual needs are essential to helping them thrive.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll provide pastoral, emotional and behavioural support, helping students manage their emotions, overcome challenges and develop the confidence to engage positively with education.
Whether you're supporting a student through a difficult moment, helping them return to the classroom or celebrating a personal breakthrough, you'll play an important part in helping young people feel safe, understood and ready to learn.
What you will be doing
Provide individual and small-group pastoral support, helping students develop confidence, resilience, positive relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Coach students in emotional regulation, self-management and positive behaviour strategies, helping them understand and manage challenging situations.

Respond calmly and effectively to behavioural incidents, using de-escalation and restorative approaches to help students return successfully to learning.

Work closely with teaching staff, the Student Support Lead and Senior Leadership Team to promote positive behaviour and student engagement.

Develop and implement personalised support strategies, including risk assessments, safety plans and intervention programmes.
