Behaviour Specialist Teaching Assistant

Are you experienced in supporting young people with challenging behaviour and social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs? Do you thrive in environments where every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference?

We're looking for full-time and part-time Behaviour Specialist Teaching Assistants to join our partnered school part of the Cabot Learning Federation Trust in the Brockworth area. You will be working with pupils aged 11-16 who need consistent, compassionate support to succeed in their education.

This is a hands-on, rewarding role where you'll work closely with students who may struggle to engage with learning due to behavioural or emotional challenges. You'll be part of a supportive team helping to create a safe, structured environment where pupils can build trust, develop resilience, and grow in confidence.

• Supporting students with SEMH needs and behavioural difficulties, both in and out of the classroom
• Building strong, positive relationships with pupils to help them feel safe and understood
• Helping students regulate emotions and develop coping strategies
• Working alongside teachers and pastoral staff to implement behaviour support plans
• Using a trauma-informed approach to de-escalate challenging situations
• Supporting outreach activities and off-site learning when needed

You don't need to be a qualified teacher, but you do need to be someone who's:

• Experienced in working with children or young people with SEMH and behavioural needs
• Calm, patient, and confident in managing challenging behaviour
• Able to build trust and rapport quickly
• Resilient and ready to adapt to changing situations
• A good communicator with a nurturing, consistent approach
• Able to drive and willing to obtain business insurance for outreach work

• Competitive pay that reflects your experience and dedication
• Ongoing training and CPD to help you grow professionally
• Supportive team environment where your wellbeing matters
• Clear guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals
• Purpose-driven work that genuinely changes lives
