Sheffield, United Kingdom Nudge Education Full time

**Nudge Education** has an exciting opportunity for an **Education Expert** to join our **FASD and Complex Cases team**. This is a new service which specialises in supporting neurodiverse students and those with a background of trauma.

You will be working on a **flexible permanent contract**, joining a network where various interventions will be offered based upon location and match with a student. In return, you will receive a **competitive rate of £16.00 - £22.00 for lead roles and £13.00 - £20.00 for support roles** plus various expenses, allowances and reporting fees.
Whilst relevant qualifications and experience are desirable, having the heart to work with these complex and disengaged students is key. Your background may be in social work, youth work, health care or education roles.

**About us**:
Are you looking for an alternative, innovative and truly person-centred role within education? Are you passionate about inclusion and nurturing individuals who do not fit comfortably within the education sector?

Working within Nudge Education’s FASD and Complex Cases team will allow you to build your knowledge and experience of the brain-based, therapeutic connections which allow neurodiverse learners to thrive.

You will be working alongside multi-skilled, like-minded people who have both professional and lived experience of nurturing neurodiverse and complex children, who will provide the training and resources you need to make a real difference to young lives.

What we do hinges upon creating a strong connection with our young people and understanding them from a brain-based perspective. Every minute and every opportunity on commission counts. We need people who don’t give up at the first hurdle. Those who can think and deliver with inventive imagination. Those with aptitude for leadership and mentoring. We need inspiring individuals who can broaden the horizons of our students.

**The role**:
You will be required to work 1:1 or within small groups. You’ll be expected to think on your feet and adapt to whatever is thrown your way, always putting the needs of the student first.

**Key duties and responsibilities of our FASD and Complex Cases Education Expert**:

- Have a working knowledge of the brain-based aspects of FASD, trauma and other neurodiverse conditions. Training will be provided.

Designing interventions that will support the engagement of students in a variety of tasks and activities.
- Reporting of progress, behavioural presentation & safeguarding concerns relating to your students
- Carrying out risk assessments of environments and activities to ensure student safety
- Occasional attendance at multi-agency meetings as an advocate for Nudge Education
- Working to meet a set of agreed provision targets
- Reporting of incidents or health and safety events in a timely manner
- Keeping up to date with best practice in supporting neurodiverse learners and being aware of current official guidance

**Desirable qualifications and experience we’re looking for in our Education Expert (although not essential)**
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- Safeguarding qualification from last 12 months
- Qualification in therapeutic discipline (counselling, mental health first aid, CBT for example)
- Recognised Teaching Qualification (PTLLS or higher)
- Training in de-escalation techniques within last 12 months (MAPA, Team Teach or similar)
- Experience of Teaching of students with Special Educational Needs

Some knowledge of FASD and developmental trauma.
- Experience of working with young people with social, emotional or mental health needs
- Experience of working with young people in a professional capacity (teaching, youth work, counselling or similar)
- Disclosure Barring Service certificate from last three months or registration on update service

**Desirable skills and abilities we’re looking for in our FASD and Complex Cases Education Expert**:

- Ability to understand behaviours from a brain-based / trauma-based perspective
- Ability to build relationships with young people who are facing crises
- Ability to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders
- Intermediate IT skills and experience of working with word processing and spreadsheet software
- Specialist knowledge of neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, PDA, ASD.
