Mental Health/Behaviour Assistant - Newbury

Are you a recent university graduate interested in mental health and behaviour? Are you interested in positive reinforcement and helping to inspire young people with challenging behaviour? Are you considering a future in youth work or psychology?

An Alternative Provision in Newbury are looking for a Graduate to join their team in September as a full-time Mental Health/Behaviour Assistant. You will be supporting students with mental health needs and behaviour challenges throughout the school day, helping to support them socially, emotionally and academically.

As a Mental Health/Behaviour Assistant, you will be providing both 1:1 and group support in the classroom under the guidance of the class teacher. You will help the students develop appropriate social and emotional skills whilst fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. You will play a crucial role in the students' education, providing them with a positive role model that they can trust and model their behaviour on. This will help them to thrive post-education and live independently when they leave school.

This is a fantastic opportunity if you are a recent graduate looking to gain experience working with difficult behaviour and mental health. Equally, if you have considered a future in criminal justice or youth worker, this will grant you with the skills needed by working hands-on with challenging behaviour and hard-to-reach students. You will also have networking opportunities with teachers, therapists and psychologists on-site at the school.

To be successful within this role you need to be ready for a challenge and have a high level of resilience! There will certainly be challenging days but this is an extremely rewarding role, where you will truly make a difference to the lives of young people. Experience working with children and/or adults with challenging behaviour would be beneficial, as well as any experience in a school setting.
