The children that attend this school struggle with their mental health and anxiety and this can impact their education and behaviour. Not only do they struggle with coping with their emotions and mental health needs, they still need to get through the school day and ensure that they are meeting their goals. This is where your role as behaviour support assistant comes in.

You will support them with all their needs in the classroom and model healthy ways for them to cope with their emotions. While you will be supporting the children, you will have the support of the class teacher yourself!

If you are looking for a supportive environment where you can flourish while also making a difference in the community, then this is the role for you! Those who have a degree in psychology or criminology will greatly benefit from this role and the experience it offers. Those with similar degrees are also encouraged to apply. If you don't have a degree, but are still looking to make a difference, we want to hear from you!

Patience and a great attitude are important!
