Behaviour Support Assistant

Role: Behaviour Buddy

Area: Hull

Salary: GBP60-75 per day

With a lot of uncertainty around now, including when schools will reopen, this is a very unnerving time. One thing is certain and that is that schools will reopen and when they do there will be a strong need for support staff. These supportive roles will include that of a behaviour buddy predominantly as well as 1:1 SEN TA’s and SEMH support. This will be largely due to the closures; for children who will have has social, emotional and mental health issues, struggled to stay engaged or have behaviour issues these closures will have a large impact. For children who have additional needs, SEMH or behaviour issues, a large amount of time without a strict routine could cause their behaviour to spike or mean they struggle to re-engage with learning.

A school in Hull is looking to recruit a Behaviour Buddy to support a LAC who they know will struggle to adjust to school life again.
