Sometimes, they just need someone who won't give up on them.

That's where you come in.

We're working with a specialist alternative provision in Gateshead that's looking for dedicated Behaviour Support Teaching Assistants to join the team this September. The setting supports secondary-aged pupils who have experienced barriers to mainstream education, including SEMH needs, behavioural challenges and additional learning needs, using a trauma-informed and relationship-based approach.

• Building positive, trusting relationships with young people
• Helping pupils regulate their emotions and re-engage with learning
• Working alongside teachers, pastoral staff and external professionals
• Encouraging confidence, resilience and independence every day

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working with children, young people or vulnerable adults
• Have a calm, resilient and positive approach
• Understand that behaviour is communication
• Enjoy building strong, consistent relationships
• Hold an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or are willing to obtain one
• Are available to work full-time from September

• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
• Opportunities across specialist SEND and alternative provisions
• Quick and easy registration process
• Refer a friend scheme with fantastic rewards

Ready to make a difference?

Success in this role isn't always measured by grades.

Sometimes it's seeing a pupil attend school for a full week, join in a lesson or simply believe in themselves again.

If you're ready to be that person, we'd love to hear from you.
