Behaviour Support Assistant

Behaviour Support Worker:

Teaching Personnel are looking to recruit a Learning Assistant to work 1:1 with pupils in Bodmin. The right candidate should be motivated and looking to constantly progress within the company whilst providing an enthusiastic attitude to teaching at all times. You will be working alongside children with Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs (Team Teach or equivalent training an advantage but not essential). The role is full time and could potentially lead to a permanent position to the perfect candidate.

You will need to offer a nurturing, safe and non-judgemental space for children who display challenging behaviour. These pupils might be LAC (Looked After Children) or from a disadvantaged background so it’s essential that you are patient and empathetic. You must provide an excellent contribution to their education and lives. The school is based in Bodmin, and although you will be working 1:1 it may be asked that occasionally you assist small groups of students. As well as supporting their learning, you will be tracking their school and personal progression and working closely with other teachers to ensure all needs are met and classes are tailored to each of the children’s individual needs.

This role would particularly suit:

•            Teaching Assistants looking for a new challenge

•            People with experience working in a SEN setting

•            People who are wanting to gain more experience and further their career

If you have a lot to give and want to make a difference to the lives of children with SEN or if you are wanting to expand your experience across a wider age and ability range then this role is for you.
