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 AcademicsWe 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 MentorAs 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 RequirementsWe 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.
