Behavioural Support Assistant | SEMH & Mentorship | Local Secondary Schools

Position: Full-Time, Long-Term (Term Time Only)

Salary: £92.56 - £95 per day (Weekly Pay - dependent on experience)

Start Date: Immediate / Next Term

Are you a resilient, patient individual with the "thick skin" and empathy required to help students overcome barriers to learning? Join our secondary network as a Behavioural Support Assistant and help at-risk students find their path to success.

A Career Built on Resilience, Not Just Academics

We are seeking dedicated Behavioural Mentors to work with students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (Years 7-11). This role is perfect for those who want to make a tangible difference in the lives of students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, or those who display challenging behaviour.

Impact Beyond the Grades: Act as a stabiliser in the classroom, helping students regulate their emotions and remain engaged in their education.

Specialised Career Path: This is the perfect springboard for aspiring Educational Psychologists, Social Workers, Youth Justice Workers, or SEN Teachers.

Work-Life Balance: Enjoy typical school hours (approx. 8:30 am - 3:30 pm) with no "take-home" work-giving you the space to recharge after a high-energy day.

Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £90 - £95 per day, paid every Friday via Randstad.

Your Role as a Behavioural Mentor

As a Behavioural Support Assistant, you are a role model and a guide, helping students navigate the complexities of school life.

De-escalation & Support: Recognise triggers and use low-level de-escalation techniques to prevent classroom disruptions and keep students on task.

1:1 & Small Group Mentorship: Work closely with specific students to build rapport, improve their social skills, and boost their self-esteem through structured intervention.

Inclusion Support: Assist the school's Inclusion or "Bridge" unit, providing a safe space for students who find the mainstream classroom environment overwhelming.

Collaborative Strategy: Work alongside the SENCO and Pastoral Leads to implement individual behaviour plans (IBPs) and ensure a consistent approach to student welfare.

Essential Requirements

We value character, resilience, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. You are an ideal fit if you:

Are Naturally Resilient: You understand that "behaviour is communication" and can maintain a professional, non-judgemental attitude in challenging situations.

Have Relevant Experience: This could be from a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit), youth work, sports coaching, residential care, or even a background in psychology or the police/military.

Are a Strong Communicator: You can build trust with "hard-to-reach" teenagers while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding and child welfare.
