Clyst Vale is a thriving and vibrant 11- 16 Community College situated five miles from Exeter. Visitors to Clyst Vale usually comment on the friendly, orderly atmosphere, the courtesy of our students, and the purposefulness in lessons. We have clear expectations and systems, but far more important are the excellent working relationships we establish between staff and students, as well as staff and parents. We remain the only Secondary school in Devon to be accredited Gold Rights Respecting School status.
The Role
Starting in September, we are seeking a committed, compassionate and resilient Behaviour Support Worker to join our dedicated pastoral team. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people by supporting their behaviour, wellbeing and engagement in school.

Supporting targeted intervention and strong relationship-building, you will help remove barriers to learning and support students to achieve their full potential.
You will need to have experience of working with children or young people and possess strong behaviour management skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
We can offer
- A unique opportunity to work within a Rights Respecting School with a strong community ethos
- A supportive CPD programme
- Free on-site parking
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
