We have found that Psychology graduates excel in this area as they have gained an understanding of children with challenging behaviour. These roles can be very rewarding and for the right candidate can be the invaluable experience to develop and grow into a well rounded teaching assistant. Challenging behaviour can come in all forms and often needs to be dealt with by using various methods including de-escalation and 1:1 support. Here at Teaching Personnel we offer CPD courses throughout the year such as Safeguarding and Team teach Training that can prepare you throughout your journey as a Teaching Assistant.
