Learning Support Assistant
Reeson Education are working with a multi-site provision in Hampshire that caters to pupils who have been removed from mainstream school. As a behaviour mentor, you will assist pupils academically where needed and encourage positive engagement within the classroom. You must be confident and able to be a positive role model.
This role is only suitable for individuals interested in full-time work during term time in Portsmouth as the pupils require consistency.
The job responsibilities of a Learning Support Assistant:
* Work as part of the whole staff team in managing and modifying the behaviour of children and young people and supporting them in their learning.
* Pro-actively support the emotional and behavioural difficulties experienced by the client group through providing direct interventions for out-of-class behaviours and non-engagement in learning, developing personalised, time-limited mentoring programmes to help young people remove barriers to learning.
* Model appropriate social skills and support students in making the right choices, taking a lead in resolving conflict and encouraging young people to develop thinking skills.
* Work with colleagues to promote good learning habits in pupils whilst promoting the highest expectations of behaviour.
* Supervise pupils and engage positively with them in both structured and unstructured times.
* Maintain professional boundaries at all times and observe/uphold the values and ethos of the Trust whilst contributing to the overall vision of the organisation.
For this Learning Support Assistant role you must:
* Have experience working or volunteering with young people.
* Be confident working across all age groups.
* Be proactive and engaging as these students require more attention and guidance.
* Be passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people needing that second chance.
* Coaching experience or previous work within a PRU setting would be advantageous but not essential.
Candidates who are available immediately and have a DBS will be prioritised.
