Behavioural Support Assistant | SEND & SEMH Specialist | Local Specialist Schools
Position: Full-Time, Long-Term (Term Time Only)
Salary: £90 - £95 per day (Weekly Pay - dependent on experience)
Start Date: Immediate / Next Term
Are you a resilient, empathetic professional who believes that "behaviour is communication"? Join our specialist network as a Behavioural Support Assistant and work with students who need a steady, compassionate mentor to help them navigate their education.
Transform Lives through Connection, Not Just Correction
We are seeking dedicated specialists to work within SEND Schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) . This role is designed for those who want to support students with complex SEMH needs, Autism, or ADHD, helping them manage their emotions and find success in a way that works for them.
- Therapeutic Focus: Move beyond traditional discipline. Use trauma-informed approaches to help students understand their feelings and self-regulate.
- Specialist Environment: Work in small class sizes with high staff-to-pupil ratios, allowing you to build deep, meaningful bonds with the students you support.
- Career Progression: Exceptional experience for those looking to move into Counselling, SEN Teaching, or Behavioural Therapy.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £90 - £95 per day , paid every Friday via Randstad.
Your Role as a Behavioural Specialist
As a Behavioural Support Assistant in an SEND setting, you are the "anchor" for students who may find the world an overwhelming or frustrating place.
- De-escalation & Crisis Support: Use specialist training (such as Team-Teach or MAPA) to safely manage challenging moments and help students return to a state of "calm."
- Personalised Mentoring: Work 1:1 to implement Individual Behaviour Plans (IBPs), using sensory breaks and positive reinforcement to build confidence.
- Social & Life Skills: Help students develop the tools they need to communicate their needs effectively, reducing the need for "acting out" through frustration.
- Holistic Tracking: Work closely with Therapists, SENCOs, and families to ensure a 360-degree approach to the student's well-being and progress.
Essential Requirements
We value character, emotional intelligence, and "staying power." You are an ideal fit if you:
- Are Unflappable: You have a calm, non-confrontational manner and can maintain your composure during high-stress situations.
- Are Empathetic: You can look past the "challenging behaviour" to see the child underneath, understanding the trauma or neurodiversity that may be driving their actions.
- Have Relevant Experience: Experience in SEND, youth work, residential care, or a background in Psychology is highly desirable.
- Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
