Hours: 32.5 hours a week, Term time only plus 5 inset days

Contract Type: Permanent

Are you passionate about making a real difference in children's lives? We're looking for a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our vibrant behaviour team in a primary school that thrives on positivity, teamwork, and growth. This is a rewarding opportunity to support pupils in a disadvantaged area, working alongside a close-knit team with excellent staff morale and clear pathways for career progression.

Purpose of Job:

To provide targeted behavioural and emotional support to children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, delivering tailored interventions outside the mainstream classroom in a bespoke learning environment. The role focuses on helping students develop coping strategies, emotional regulation, and positive behaviours to reintegrate successfully into class where possible.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Direct Student Support

• Deliver 1:1 and small-group intervention sessions in a dedicated behaviour support space, focusing on social skills, emotional regulation, and behaviour management.
• Implement individualised support plans (e.g., EHCP, IEP, or PBS plans) in collaboration with the SENCO and pastoral team.
• Use trauma-informed and restorative approaches to de-escalate crises and rebuild trust.
• Support students with SEMH needs through structured activities (e.g., anger management, mindfulness, or social stories).

2. Bespoke Classroom Management

• Create a safe, predictable, and nurturing environment in the bespoke classroom, adapting resources to meet sensory/emotional needs.
• Monitor and record student progress, providing feedback to teachers, parents, and external agencies (e.g., educational psychologists).
• Model positive behaviour and teach self-regulation techniques (e.g., Zones of Regulation, PACE approaches).

3. Collaboration & Safeguarding

• Work closely with the SENCO, pastoral team, and external professionals (e.g., CAMHS, social workers) to align support strategies.
• Attend multi-agency meetings and contribute to risk assessments or behaviour reviews.
• Uphold safeguarding policies, reporting concerns promptly and following school protocols.
