As a Behavioural Support Assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting students with behavioural, social, and emotional needs.

Key Responsibilities:

* Delivering personalised 1:1 and small group interventions
* Supporting students in managing behaviour and regulating emotions
* Encouraging and modelling positive behaviour and routines
* Assisting teachers in adapting lessons to meet individual needs
* Helping with smooth transitions during the school day, including break times and classroom changes

In return, Academics offers:

* Access to full-time or part-time Behavioural Support Assistant roles across Walsall
* Long-term opportunities in alternative provisions, SEN schools and PRUs
* Competitive daily rates, paid weekly
* Ongoing training and professional development

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in youth work, care, psychology, or education who is looking to take the next step in their support career.

Apply today to become a Behavioural Support Assistant in Walsall and make a positive impact where it's needed most.
