Temporary

Are you a dedicated and resilient Behaviour Specialist who is passionate about supporting pupils to overcome behavioural barriers and achieve positive outcomes?

Reeson Education are recruiting a skilled Behaviour Specialist for a supportive and inclusive school in Barnsley (S75) starting from September 2026. This role is ideal for an experienced education professional who can promote positive behaviour, build strong relationships, and support pupils in developing the skills they need to succeed both academically and socially.

About the Behaviour Specialist Role:

As a Behaviour Specialist, you will work closely with pupils who require additional behavioural and emotional support. You will implement effective behaviour strategies, provide targeted interventions, and collaborate with teaching staff to create a positive and productive learning environment.

Key Responsibilities as a Behaviour Specialist:

  • Behaviour Support & Intervention: Deliver targeted one-to-one and small-group interventions to support positive behaviour and emotional regulation.
  • Behaviour Management Strategies: Identify behavioural triggers and implement effective strategies to reduce barriers to learning and improve engagement.
  • Confidence & Relationship Building: Support pupils in developing self-confidence, resilience, social skills, and positive relationships with peers and staff.
  • Progress Monitoring: Monitor, assess, and record behavioural progress, providing regular feedback and recommendations to teaching staff and pastoral teams.
  • Multi-Agency Collaboration: Work closely with teachers, SENCOs, parents, pastoral staff, and external professionals to develop and implement individual behaviour support plans.

To succeed as a Behaviour Specialist, you will need:

  • Previous experience working within an educational, youth work, mentoring, SEMH, or behaviour support setting.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • The ability to build positive and professional relationships with pupils and staff.
  • A calm, patient, and proactive approach to behaviour management.
  • An enhanced DBS on the update service, or willingness to apply through Reeson Education.

Benefits as a Behaviour Specialist:

  • Competitive daily rate of £100-£130, depending on experience.
  • Flexible full-time and part-time opportunities.
  • Access to ongoing professional development and specialist behaviour management training.
  • A supportive and collaborative school environment.
  • The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on pupils' behavioural development, engagement, and overall wellbeing.

Please note: This role requires strong safeguarding awareness. All applicants must meet full safer-recruitment requirements, including holding an enhanced DBS on the update service or being willing to obtain one.
