1:1 Behaviour Support Assistant | Colchester | Immediate Start

Do you have the calm in the middle of a storm? Can you look past a "difficult" moment to see the child who needs a mentor? Are you a natural communicator who can de-escalate a situation with a kind word or a clever distraction? If you believe that every child deserves a champion-someone who won't give up on them when things get tough-then you are exactly who we are looking for.

The Role Overview

Located in the historic heart of Colchester, our school is seeking a dedicated 1:1 Behaviour Support Assistant. You will be assigned to a specific student (KS1 or KS2) who requires additional emotional and behavioural guidance to access the curriculum. This isn't just a "TA role"; it is a mentorship position where you will build a deep, trusting bond to help a child navigate their school day successfully.

What's in it for You? (The Benefits)

...

Competitive Daily Rate: £85 - £105 per day (depending on experience).
Specialist Training: Full access to Pivotal de-escalation training and ADHD/Autism awareness workshops.
Supportive Environment: You won't be "on your own"-you'll work closely with an experienced SENCO and an inclusive teaching team.
Consistent Hours: Term-time only (Monday-Friday), allowing for an excellent work-life balance.
Permanent Opportunities: Many of our 1:1 roles lead to permanent school contracts for the right candidate.

Your Responsibilities

Provide 1:1 support, helping the student stay engaged with classroom tasks.
Implement bespoke Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plans.
Act as a "bridge" between the student and their peers, fostering social inclusion.
Create a "calm zone" or use sensory breaks to prevent overstimulation.
Record progress and triggers, providing vital feedback to teachers and parents.

What We Need From You

Resilience: A thick skin and a heart of gold are essential.
Experience: Previous work with children, youth coaching, or SEN support is highly desirable.
Personality: You must be patient, firm but fair, and able to remain professional under pressure.
Commitment: Consistency is key for our students; we need someone reliable.
DBS: A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to apply for one).

Make Your Impact Today!

This student is waiting for a consistent, positive role model to help them succeed. Don't wait for the "right time"-the right time is now. Apply today and start changing a life.
