Behavioural support assistant for bespoke school/education centre

Are you interested in helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds? Do you see value in children where others may write them off? Do you have a keen interest in supporting mental health and giving children the tools to better regulate their emotions?

We are currently partnered with a truly special and alternative education centre in Bristol that have multiple sites working with students who have mental health difficulties ranging from as young as 5 all the way to post 16. The centres strive to give students a bespoke experience that gives them opportunities to learn in the most active and engaging way possible that is not so much involved in being sat in a classroom.

Whilst we are ideally looking for people that have previous experience working with mental health from either a school background or supporting young adults in a care environment. We would also welcome those that have perhaps studies psychology or just have a real passion to support or get involved. In order to work at this school, you will need to be resilient to some challenging behaviours, have lots of empathy and understand the importance of offer consistent support to ensure that routine is kept and students feel they are in a stable environment.

Due to the nature of the work, the school can only consider drivers, so you must have access to a car and be able to drive.

We are currently looking for a few people due to the schools further expansion. Working hours are 8:30–3:30, Monday to Friday and term time only.

To work with children you will need to have an enhanced DBS on the update service, or be willing to apply for one.

So if you want to give the most vulnerable of students a chance to really shine and prove they can acheive despite their circumstances, get in touch with us today.
