Make a Lasting Impact

Are you experienced in supporting young people with challenging behaviour and social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs? Do you thrive in environments where every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference?

We're looking for full-time and part-time Behaviour Specialist Teaching Assistants to join our partnered school part of the Cabot Learning Federation Trust in the Brockworth area. You will be working with pupils aged 11-16 who need consistent, compassionate support to succeed in their education.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, rewarding role where you'll work closely with students who may struggle to engage with learning due to behavioural or emotional challenges. You'll be part of a supportive team helping to create a safe, structured environment where pupils can build trust, develop resilience, and grow in confidence.

What You'll Be Doing

Supporting students with SEMH needs and behavioural difficulties, both in and out of the classroom
Building strong, positive relationships with pupils to help them feel safe and understood
Helping students regulate emotions and develop coping strategies
Working alongside teachers and pastoral staff to implement behaviour support plans
Using a trauma-informed approach to de-escalate challenging situations

Experienced in working with children or young people with SEMH and behavioural needs
Calm, patient, and confident in managing challenging behaviour
Able to build trust and rapport quickly
Resilient and ready to adapt to changing situations
A good communicator with a nurturing, consistent approach
