Behaviour Support Assistant

Behaviour & Inclusion Support - Immediate starts - Full Time

(Salary is dependent on experience & qualifications)

We are currently looking for Child support staff to work in a specialist setting based in Wakefield & five towns area. This school provides an education for students who can’t go to a mainstream school, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons and would not otherwise receive suitable education. The particular groups you are working with will be KS3 and KS4 children that are in transition to this new environment.

This post has the potential to become permanent if you are interested. The position would also suit someone who is looking for a job to fit around childcare ideally working five days per week and being able to spend the School holidays with their families.

You may have some experience and more importantly have a passion for working with young people aged 8-19. The work can be very rewarding; however, it can also be challenging so you need to be resilient, calm, composed and have the ability to manage challenging behaviour in the school. Many students have challenging home lives and have complex communication needs, learning difficulties or are autistic and occasionally present some challenging behaviours.
