Behaviour Support Assistant

A primary school in Yeadon are in need of a Behaviour Support Assistant from the Easter holidays until at least the end of the academic year. There are some support staff leaving the school in the Easter holidays, meaning that the SLT are having to reorganise the structure of the staff. Therefore, the school are in need of an experienced behaviour support assistant to provide support to an Autistic boy in one of their Year 6 classes. The school have set out the following requirements for the role:

• Experience of working in schools in any support role.
• Experience handling children with challenging behaviour in any capacity.
• SEN experience – particularly with ASC children.
• Able to travel to Yeadon (LS19).
• Free full-time, 5 days a week, from Easter until the end of the academic year.

The school:

The role is at a 2-form entry primary school in LS19, and will be mostly focussed in one of their Year 6 classes. The school was rated as GOOD by Ofsted in 2016 and the Head has been at the school for a number of years, where performance and progress has remained consistent in this time. The school is an extremely pleasant atmosphere to work in as the core staff have mostly been at the school for a long time, so know the school well and provide excellent support to any new members of staff. The school has higher than the national average SEN intake, and these children are well looked after as the school employs a high number of SEN Support staff and Teaching Assistants.

The role:

This particular role is focussed in one of the year 6 classes, as behaviour in this class has not met the school’s standards so far this year. There is one ASC child in the class whose behaviour can sometimes be quite volatile, and has in the past been violent with some members of staff. This is why the school feel most comfortable with recruiting a behaviour specialist to provide further support. Any background in sports or PE would also go a long way, as the school are looking for a candidate who can engage the children in extra-curricular activities as they often struggle to stay in the classroom.

The Details:

The role is initially until the end of this academic year, as the children will be going to secondary school in September. However, there is a chance this may be made permanent depending on your success in the role. To apply you must first meet the requirements laid out at the top of this advert.
