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

Weekly Pay:
Competitive daily rates of

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.
