Behaviour Support Assistant Newham, East London | Mainstream Secondary School Full-Time | Competitive Daily Rate | Weekly Pay When everyone else is escalating, can you stay calm? A student refuses an instruction. An argument is getting louder. Someone walks out of a lesson. A pupil arrives at school already angry about something that happened before they even reached the gates. In behaviour support, your response can influence what happens next. We're recruiting a Behaviour Support Assistant for a mainstream secondary school in Newham, working as part of an established pastoral and inclusion team. The school needs someone who is calm, confident and consistent - particularly when the young person in front of them isn't. You're Not There to Win an Argument Good behaviour support isn't about proving who's in charge. It's about maintaining boundaries, understanding what's happening and helping pupils get back to a point where education can continue. You'll work with students who need additional help managing behaviour, emotions and relationships within school. That will include: - Providing 1:1 behaviour support - Working with small groups of identified pupils - De-escalating conflict and challenging situations - Helping students develop emotional-regulation strategies - Reinforcing individual behaviour plans - Supporting pupils following incidents - Supervising reflection, isolation or internal exclusion spaces - Supporting pupils during less structured parts of the school day - Recording incidents and interventions accurately - Working alongside teachers, SENCOs and pastoral colleagues The aim isn't simply to get through today's incident. Where possible, you'll help pupils develop the skills to handle tomorrow's situation differently. There's Another Side to This Role This is a mainstream secondary school, so you'll occasionally be asked to provide cover supervision when a teacher is absent. That means standing in front of a whole class, setting expectations and ensuring pupils complete the work provided. You won't be expected to teach unfamiliar curriculum content from scratch. You will need enough presence and confidence to manage a secondary classroom. For the right candidate, that variety can be a real positive - you're not confined to one intervention room or working with the same pupils all day. Can You Hold a Boundary Without Creating a Battle? That's probably the most important question. We're looking for someone who can build positive relationships with teenagers while remaining clearly and consistently the adult in the situation. Previous experience working with young people is essential. That might come from: Secondary Education | Behaviour Support | Youth Work | SEMH | Alternative Provision | Mentoring | Pastoral Support You'll also need: - Confidence managing challenging behaviour - Strong communication skills - Emotional resilience - A calm and consistent approach - Confidence supervising a full secondary class - Good professional boundaries - An understanding of safeguarding - An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one Team Teach, de-escalation or similar behaviour-support training would be useful but isn't essential. The Opportunity You'll join a supportive pastoral team within a mainstream Newham secondary school, with access to ongoing CPD and training. The position offers a competitive daily rate with weekly pay and the opportunity to develop valuable experience across behaviour, pastoral support and classroom supervision. If you're the person who can lower the temperature rather than add to it, we'd like to hear from you. Apply with your CV for this Behaviour Support Assistant opportunity in Newham.
