Are you a Psychology graduate or aspiring education professional looking to gain hands-on experience supporting young people with social, emotional, and behavioural needs? We are recruiting for a Behaviour Support Assistant to join a vibrant boys’ secondary school in Barnet, working with students aged 11–16 who require additional guidance and structure to succeed in their education.

 

As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you will work alongside experienced staff to deliver targeted interventions, regulate classroom behaviour, and build trusted relationships with pupils who may struggle with self-esteem, emotional regulation, or persistent disruption.

  • Promote positive relationships, routines, and strategies for self-regulation
  • Work closely with the Pastoral and SEND teams to track and support student progress
  • Model calm, consistent behaviour expectations and provide a reliable adult presence

 

This position is ideal for aspiring educational psychologists, youth workers, teachers, or those with an interest in behaviour, trauma-informed practice, and inclusion. You’ll be part of a dedicated support team with excellent training opportunities and progression pathways.

 

Behaviour Support Assistant - We are looking for:

  • A 2:1 or First-Class degree in Psychology or a related subject
  • A calm, confident, and empathetic approach
  • An interest in behaviour management and supporting vulnerable learners
  • A commitment to working full-time throughout the 2025–2026 academic year

 

Becoming a Behaviour Support Assistant is a meaningful opportunity to positively shape the futures of students who need structure and consistency. If you're resilient, emotionally intelligent, and passionate about supporting young people, this could be the perfect role for you.
