Are you a recent university graduate interested in mental health and behaviour? Are you interested in positive reinforcement and helping to inspire young people with challenging behaviour? Are you considering a future in youth work or psychology?

An Alternative Provision just outside of Newbury are looking for a Behaviour Support Assistant to join their team on a full-time basis, starting in September. As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you will be supporting students aged 11 to 18 with mental health needs and behaviour changes throughout the school day, helping to support them socially, emotionally and academically.

You will be providing both 1:1 and group support in the classroom under the guidance of the class teacher. You will help manage the students' behaviour, as well as developing appropriate social and emotional skills whilst fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. You will also play a crucial role in the students' education, providing them with a positive role model that they can trust and model their behaviour on. This will help them to thrive post-education and live independently when they leave school.

This is a fantastic opportunity if you are a recent graduate looking to gain experience working with difficult behaviour and mental health. Equally, if you have considered a future in criminal justice or youth worker, this will grant you with the skills needed by working hands-on with challenging behaviour and hard-to-reach students. You will also have networking opportunities with teachers, therapists and psychologists on-site at the school.

To be successful within this role you need to be ready for a challenge and have a high level of resilience! There will certainly be challenging days but this is an extremely rewarding role, where you will truly make a difference to the lives of young people. Experience working with children and/or adults with challenging behaviour would be beneficial, as well as any experience in a school setting.
