Job Description
This role suits someone who believes that connection drives progress. As an Inclusion Key Worker, you’ll support pupils with complex social, emotional, and learning needs in a specialist setting in Coventry. Your work will be split between in-class support, emotional coaching, and helping pupils access structured learning through achievable steps. You’ll collaborate with therapists, support staff, and SENCOs to tailor strategies that reduce anxiety and increase engagement. The school embraces sensory regulation, visual supports, and pupil-led approaches, so you’ll have the tools to intervene early rather than reactively. This is a proactive, relationship-orientated role, not a behaviour firefighting post. If you have patience, intuition, and resilience, you’ll find real scope to influence outcomes and gain specialist experience.

Build trusted relationships with pupils facing SEND and SEMH barriers

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!
Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
