Behaviour Support Assistant - Cannock

Do you have a genuine passion for helping young people overcome behavioural barriers and flourish in their learning? A supportive school in Cannock is seeking a committed and empathetic Behaviour Support Assistant to join their dedicated team, providing essential emotional and behavioural support to students who need it most.

The Role:

As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you'll play a key part in supporting children across Key Stages 1 to 4 who may struggle with behaviour due to emotional difficulties, past trauma, or additional needs such as autism or ADHD. You'll work alongside teachers and pastoral staff to implement tailored support strategies that foster emotional growth, resilience, and educational progress.

Whether you're helping a pupil reset after a tough moment or celebrating the small steps that lead to long-term success, your contribution will help create a stable and encouraging school environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Delivering personalised 1:1 and small group interventions
• Supporting students in managing behaviour and regulating emotions
• Encouraging and modelling positive behaviour and routines
• Assisting teachers in adapting lessons to meet individual needs
• Helping with smooth transitions during the school day, including break times and classroom changes

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone calm, confident, and proactive, with a natural ability to build positive relationships. Previous experience in a setting that supports students with SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs is highly desirable. Training in behaviour de-escalation techniques (e.g. Team Teach or MAPA) would be a welcome bonus.

In Return, You'll Benefit From:

• A meaningful and rewarding position supporting vulnerable learners
• Ongoing guidance and check-ins from a specialist SEN consultant
• Access to professional development and behaviour management training
• Competitive daily pay and bonus incentives for referrals

If you're ready to bring patience, positivity, and purpose to a role where you'll make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to take the next step in your career as a Behaviour Support Assistant in Cannock. Academics are acting as an agency on behalf of other organisations.
