About the role
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. CHANGE A CHILD'S STORY.
Aspiring Behaviour Support Specialist
Full Time | Chatham, Kent | January 2027 Start
Do you have the passion, patience and personality to help children overcome barriers and achieve things they never thought possible?
Are you someone who looks beyond behaviour, wants to understand the child behind it and believes that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and successful?
If so, we would love to hear from you!
We are looking for a compassionate, enthusiastic and dedicated Aspiring Behaviour Support Specialist to join our primary school in Chatham, Kent, from January 2027.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference to children's lives and develop a rewarding career supporting children with social, emotional and behavioural needs.
This is more than just a job!
Some children need a little extra support to navigate the challenges of school life. They need someone who will take the time to understand them, recognise their potential, celebrate their successes and never give up on them.
As our Aspiring Behaviour Support Specialist, you will play a vital role in helping children develop the skills, confidence and emotional resilience they need to thrive.
You will be working alongside a supportive team of teachers and professionals, helping children to understand their emotions, manage their behaviour, build positive relationships and engage successfully with learning.
Who are we looking for?
You don't necessarily need to be an experienced behaviour specialist. What matters most to us is your attitude, commitment and genuine desire to make a difference.
You might already work in education, childcare, youth work or another support role. Alternatively, you may be looking for an opportunity to begin a career working with children with additional needs.
Most importantly, you will believe that behaviour is communication and that every child deserves someone who believes in them.
Could this be the opportunity you've been looking for?
If you are someone who sees potential where others may see challenges, who believes relationships come first and who wants to help children become the very best versions of themselves, we would love to hear from you.
You don't have to know everything about behaviour support already. You just need the passion to learn, the determination to make a difference and the belief that every child deserves to succeed.
Apply today and take the first step towards a truly rewarding career!
The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and appropriate safeguarding and pre-employment checks.
Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
