Make a Real Difference Every Day

We are looking for an experienced (at least two years) Behaviour Assistant to join our welcoming SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) school near Horsham. This specialist school supports children and young people aged 5–18 with SEMH and Autism.

This role is to help the running of the out-of-lesson young people, a place where they can go to regulate their emotions. The assistants will undertake activities with the aim of regulating the pupil(s) before returning to class. Activities can include playing sport, going for a walk, having a talk, playing with a toy - whatever it is that is needed to calm the child down to the point that they're ready to learn once again.

This is an exciting opportunity to work directly with students, staff, and families to help unlock communication potential and support wider learning and life skills.

Why Join Our School?
  • Supportive Environment: A warm, collaborative school that puts both staff and student well-being at the forefront.
  • Staff Well-Being: Once permanent, therapists benefit from an additional on-call day off per week while retaining full pay.
  • Career Progression: Start as a temp for 60 working days before transitioning to a permanent role within the same setting.
  • On-Site Support: Access to a therapist for personal and professional well-being.
  • Positive Culture: A school that values creativity, fun, and resilience in supporting pupils with SEMH needs.
What We're Looking For
  • Two years of experience working with children or young people within SEMH, Autism or special education settings.
  • A compassionate, patient, and adaptable approach.
  • The ability to work collaboratively with teaching staff, support assistants and families.
  • Commitment to helping students achieve their goals.
  • A person that the young people can rely on and trust to help in the the trickiest times.
Key Information
  • Days: Full-time, Monday to Friday, Term Time Only
  • Contract: 60-working-day temp-to-perm (you remain in the same setting).
  • Pay: £127 per day (inclusive of 12.07% PAYE holiday).
  • Start Date: ASAP (we can wait for notice periods for the right candidate).
Interview Process
  • School tour
  • Observation of classroom setting
  • Informal discussion/interview with the team
