Key Requirements:

  • Relevant Qualifications: A minimum of a Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification or related fields such as Youth Work, Psychology, or Counselling.
  • Experience: Proven experience working with children in a school or similar setting, focusing on behaviour management or pastoral support.
  • Behaviour Management: Strong experience in handling challenging behaviour, with the ability to implement effective strategies to support students in improving their conduct.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills to engage with pupils, staff, and parents, creating positive relationships.
  • SEN Experience: Understanding of Special Educational Needs (SEN), particularly in supporting children with ADHD, Autism, or Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).
  • Patience & Resilience: Ability to stay calm under pressure and manage challenging behaviour with a positive and proactive attitude.
  • Team Player: Experience working as part of a team to support behaviour management strategies consistently across the school.
  • Safeguarding Knowledge: Good understanding of safeguarding and child protection policies.
  • Enhanced DBS: A current Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to apply for one).

What We Offer:

  • Flexibility: Work in a variety of primary schools across Derby, choosing a schedule that suits your lifestyle.
  • Competitive Pay: We offer competitive rates based on your skills and experience.
