Are you passionate about supporting children with social, emotional, and behavioural needs? A welcoming and inclusive school in Southwark is looking to appoint a committed SEN behaviour support assistant to work with students who require additional behavioural support to access their learning.

As a SEN behaviour support assistant, you will play a crucial role in promoting a positive learning environment, managing challenging behaviour, and implementing tailored strategies in line with pupils' individual education and behaviour plans. The school caters to pupils with a range of needs, including SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health), ADHD, and autism.

This is a full-time, term-time position, with hours from 8:30am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday.

This SEN behaviour support assistant role is offered on a temporary to permanent basis, with excellent long-term career prospects for the right candidate. Previous experience supporting young people with additional needs is highly desirable.

Requirements:

• Previous experience working with children with SEN and/or behavioural needs (school, care, or youth work experience welcome)

• A calm, patient, and empathetic nature

• Strong behaviour management skills and resilience

• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
