Behaviour Specialist Teaching Assistant - Blackburn Alternative Provision
Location: Blackburn, Lancashire
Salary: £101.89 - £125.89 per day (Based on experience)
Contract: Full-Time, Long-Term (Perm opportunities available)
Start Date: Immediate / Next Term
Are you passionate about changing the narrative for students in alternative education?
We are seeking a dedicated Behaviour Specialist Teaching Assistant to join a leading Alternative Provision (AP) in Blackburn. This is a vital role supporting young people who have faced challenges in mainstream education, often involving SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs or complex behaviours.
In this role, you aren’t just a "helper" in the classroom; you are a mentor, a de-escalator, and a consistent role model for students who need it most.
Key Responsibilities
*One-to-One Support: Work closely with students (KS3/KS4) to manage triggers and encourage engagement with the curriculum.
*De-escalation: Utilise positive reinforcement and proven behavioural strategies to maintain a calm learning environment.
*Small Group Intervention: Lead small groups in literacy, numeracy, or vocational tasks.
*Collaboration: Work alongside the SENCO and external agencies to implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
What We Are Looking For
*Experience: Previous experience working with SEMH, ADHD, ASC, or challenging behaviour (Schools, Youth Work, or Care settings).
*Resilience: A calm, "thick-skinned" approach with the ability to bounce back from challenging days.
*Training: Team-Teach, MAPA, or similar de-escalation training is highly desirable (but not essential, as training can be provided).
*Local Knowledge: A commitment to supporting the Blackburn community and improving outcomes for local youth.
Why Join This Blackburn AP?
*Competitive Pay: Weekly pay via PAYE.
*Professional Development: Access to ongoing CPD and specialised behavioural management training.
*Impact: The opportunity to make a tangible difference in a student’s life path.
*Supportive Team: Work within a tight-knit staff body that prioritises staff wellbeing.
