  • Make a Direct Impact: Work one on one with pupils to implement tailored behaviour strategies and witness tangible progress.
  • Consistent Schedule: Enjoy a stable, full time role (8:30-3:30) during term time with a clear daily rate.
  • Enhance Your Skillset: Gain valuable experience in crisis prevention, positive handling, and trauma informed approaches.
  • Referral Incentive: Know someone perfect for this? Refer them and receive a £75 Love2Shop voucher.
The Ideal Candidate Will Possess
  • A Level 3 TA qualification or a degree in Psychology/Criminology.
  • Proven experience managing challenging behaviour in a school, care, or youth work setting.
  • A toolbox of practical de escalation and distraction techniques.
  • Unshakeable patience and a consistent approach.
  • A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or the ability to process one immediately).
