Our benefits include exclusive access to reward and discount scheme, comprehensive induction, commitment to your ongoing training and career progression, pension scheme, paid for enhanced DBS, wellbeing support, cycle to work scheme and more!

At Bridge House, care and connection are at the heart of everything we do. Every student is welcomed each morning by familiar staff and begins the day with our Nurture Breakfast — a calm, structured start that helps them feel settled and ready to learn. Throughout the day, our skilled staff provide enhanced support in and out of lessons, including during break and lunchtime, with structured activities that promote social skills and emotional literacy.

Our trauma-informed, non-punitive approach supports students to build self-awareness and develop the tools they need to self-regulate, manage relationships, and thrive. We believe in restorative practice, where students are supported to learn from their mistakes in a positive and constructive way. A well-structured, individualised rewards system motivates pupils to engage and take pride in their progress, both personally and academically.

As part of Aspris Children’s Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. We ask that you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience and in return we will give you all the training and support you need to progress.

The successful candidate will have the following characteristics:

Resilience – We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.

Communication – Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Positive working relationships, good teamwork and communication plays a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.

Committed – will join a supportive and experienced team of dedicated support staff, committed to delivering the very best care.

Caring – Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
