Are you passionate about helping children overcome behavioural and learning challenges? Do you have the empathy, patience, and dedication to positively impact their school experience?

A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Woking is looking for a Behaviour Support Assistant to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone eager to support children with challenging behaviour and Special Educational Needs (SEND) in a nurturing, positive environment.

In this role, you’ll work across Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2, assisting pupils in managing their emotions, building positive relationships, and re-engaging with their learning.

Academics Ltd is seeking a caring, proactive individual with either experience or a keen interest in supporting children with behavioural or emotional needs. You’ll provide both 1:1 and small group support, working closely with teachers and the wider school team to promote positive behaviour and emotional development.
