Job description

A Senior Day Coach at SuperCare provides experience, guidance, and reassurance in the middle of a busy day. You’ll be alongside children who are energetic, sometimes aggressive, and always in need of constant engagement. The role is hands‑on, but you’ll also serve as a steady influence for newer staff—showing them how to respond to challenging behaviours, how to use social stories, and how to keep a bubbly, warm atmosphere even when the day feels tough. You won’t lead the shift, but you’ll be the experienced anchor that helps the team stay steady and effective.

What You’ll Do

• Support children with hygiene, education, routines, and active play.
• Respond to behaviours with calm, consistent strategies.
• Model positive practice for less experienced staff.
• Encourage children’s independence through prompting, teaching, and play.
• Help the team stay resilient by being a reliable, supportive presence.

What We’re Looking For

This role needs someone who is confident in their skills and willing to share their experience with others while remaining hands‑on.

• At least 2 years’ experience in SEN, residential, or learning disability support.
• Level 3 Diploma (or working towards it).
• Skilled in behaviour support and confident with aggression.
• Fun, energetic, and resilient—someone who can make the day engaging for children and supportive for staff.

Benefits Working at SuperCare

As a Senior Day Coach, you’ll be recognised for your experience and given training and development to help you take the next step into leadership.

• Salary 20% above sector average
• Rota: 07:30‑22:30, 1 day on / 2 days off
• 36 days of training per year, including PBS and autism communication tools
• Fully funded Level 3 and support for Level 5 Diploma
• Private healthcare & 24/7 GP access
• Gym stipend & wellbeing support
