Are you a Criminology or Psychology Graduate looking to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people? Do you have a passion for education and mental health?

A Specialist School just outside of Swindon are seeking a dedicated graduate to join their team as a Behaviour Support Assistant, starting as soon as next week. In this role, you will support children aged 11 to 18 who face behaviour challenges, including children exhibiting anti-social behaviours as a result of a diagnosed social, emotional or mental health difficulty.

As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you will:

* Work closely with students to overcome behavioural challenges.
* Encourage positive decision-making and implement effective behaviour management strategies.
* Create a calm and safe learning environment to help students maintain focus.
* Encourage healthy relationships between students, staff and peers.
* Provide emotional support to students, helping them develop self-regulation and coping skills.
* Nurture the students’ social and emotional development.

The Ideal Candidate will have:

* A degree in Criminology, Psychology, or a related field.
* Passion for working with young people, particularly those facing behavioural and emotional challenges.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* Ability to remain calm under pressure.
* Experience working with children and/or adults with special needs (desirable but not essential).

This is a great opportunity for a recent Graduate to gain hands-on experience in the mental health field, and apply psychological or criminological theory to real-world scenarios. By engaging with various aspects of mental health and education, you will open doors to future roles in clinical or therapeutic settings, as well as youth justice and probation work.
