Behavioural Support Assistant – Full time:

We are actively recruiting for individuals who have a passion for supporting pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) and those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The role of a behavioural support assistant is to build up an excellent relationship with a pupil on a 1:1 basis to help steer them in the right direction in life and be a positive role model.

Due to the nature of the pupils and the backgrounds they often come from, the school are looking for individuals who aren’t phased by a high tariff of behavioural difficulties and someone who has the ability to think on their feet to de-fuse any ‘potential’ escalations in the classroom.

The school are looking for anyone who is of a sporting background because when your 1:1 pupil is agitated they are more than happy for you to go outside and engage the pupil in their preferred choice of sport to help ‘cool them off’ before re-engaging them again in the schoolwork. It might be as simple as kicking a football around for 5 minutes before re-engaging them in work again afterwards!

Ideally you would have experience working with primary and secondary aged pupils in a school-based environment, but we welcome applicants who have an interest and who are keen to work in this area!

The ability to drive is preferred for this role, due to the extra-circular activities pupils often do off-site and a full enhanced DBS is required.

In return you will receive:

•     An excellent rate of pay - £83.40 - £96.40 per day depending on level of experience
•     Receive outstanding training and development opportunities including Team Teach, Safeguarding and multiple other courses
•     Free parking on site
•     Auto-enrolled into company pension scheme
•     Receive holiday pay – 12.07%
•     Full time, long term position
•     Satisfaction and fulfilment, knowing you have made a positive difference in these pupils lives

To apply for this role or to have an informal conversation please contact Vision for Education Cardiff and we will be more than happy to discuss things further with you.

Alternatively, please send a copy of your up-to-date CV in for consideration and we will be in touch!

Look forward to speaking with you.
