Level 2 & Level 3 Teaching Assistants / Behaviour Support
Psychology Graduates (SEN / Pastoral Support pathways)
Cover Supervisors & Learning Support Assistants
What We Are Looking For:
Qualifications: Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare/Supporting Teaching and Learning, OR a degree in Psychology (or a related social science field).
Experience: Previous experience working with children or vulnerable young people is highly desirable, though passion and transferable skills are highly valued.
Attributes: A resilient, empathetic, and solution-focused approach to supporting student engagement and behaviour.
Availability: Must be available to attend the interview day in Blackburn on Thursday 25th June and be looking for a September 2026 start.
