Job Title: Behaviour Support Assistant (Psychology Background Ideal)

Do you have the resilience to handle challenging behaviour and the insight to understand its root causes?
A primary school in Sheffield is on the lookout for a proactive individual to fill an immediate vacancy. They need a Teaching Assistant who isn’t fazed by difficult situations and can use a blend of empathy and structure to support children with SEN.
This role is perfect for a psychology graduate or an experienced TA who thrives on a challenge. You will be the anchor for pupils who struggle to regulate, focusing on trust-building and consistent boundaries to unlock their potential.
Why You Should Apply:
* Immediate Start: Step into a role where your presence is needed right now.

* 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).

If you are ready for a demanding yet deeply rewarding role, we want to hear from you.
