Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with additional learning needs? Looking for a rewarding role where no two days are the same?

We are currently recruiting Behaviour Support Assistants to work across a range of specialist ALN provisions and schools throughout Monmouthshire. These settings support pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH), Autism and other additional learning needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people while gaining valuable experience across a variety of supportive educational settings.

• Help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment
• Work closely with teachers, support staff and external professionals to meet individual pupil needs

What we're looking for:

• Experience supporting children or young people with SLD, SEMH, Autism or additional learning needs is desirable
• A resilient, patient and positive approach to supporting challenging behaviour
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to remain calm and adaptable in different situations
• A genuine passion for helping young people achieve their full potential
• Relevant education, care or support experience is beneficial but not essential

Why join us?

• Opportunities to work across various ALN settings throughout Monmouth
• Valuable experience within specialist and mainstream provisions
• Support from a dedicated education consultant
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities
• Rewarding work that makes a real difference every day

Whether you come from an education, care, youth work or support background, this could be the perfect opportunity to begin or continue your career supporting children with additional learning needs.

If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can positively impact young people's lives while gaining experience across a range of specialist settings in Monmouth, we'd love to hear from you.
