Job description

Ready to be someone's favourite person at school?

At University Collegiate School, we don't just educate minds, we shape futures, build confidence, and celebrate every small win (yes, even remembering a pen). We're on the lookout for a Behaviour Teaching Assistant who's equal parts calm, compassionate, creative… and maybe just a little bit superhero.

The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

As a Behaviour Teaching Assistant, you'll be the guiding star for students who need a little extra support navigating school life. You'll:

Build positive relationships that genuinely make a difference
Help students develop emotional regulation and resilience skills
Support learning by keeping students engaged, focused, and ready to succeed
Turn challenges into "watch me grow" moments
Work alongside teachers, parents, and support teams to champion every student

Think of yourself as part coach, part cheerleader, part strategist… with a great sense of humour

What Makes You You

We're not looking for perfect - we're looking for passion. You'll fit right in if you:

Have experience supporting young people (school, youth work, mentoring - all welcome!)
Lead with empathy but can set firm, fair boundaries
Can switch from serious supporter to playful motivator in seconds
Stay calm when things get a little… lively
Believe every student has potential - even on those days

Bonus points if:

You've got a great story, joke, or motivational phrase on standby
You celebrate progress like it's a national holiday

Why Join Us?

Because this isn't just a job - it's a chance to matter.

A supportive, friendly team
A wellness day - additional day of leave to support your wellbeing
Local Government Pension Scheme
Opportunities for training and professional growth
A culture where your voice is heard and your ideas count
The kind of role where you go home knowing you made a difference

Ready to Apply?

If you're someone who believes in second chances, fresh starts, and the power of encouragement - we want to hear from you.

Apply now and help shape brighter futures - one student at a time.

"Some days you'll change behaviour. Every day you'll change a life."
