Immediate Start

Alternative Provisions across Luton are seeking a resilient, confident Teaching Assistant to support young people with SEMH, behavioural needs, and additional learning challenges.

This is not a mainstream classroom.
It's smaller groups, stronger boundaries, and real relationship-building.

You'll provide 1:1 and small group support, help manage behaviour positively, and play a key role in re-engaging students who need structure, consistency, and someone who won't give up on them.

• Provide 1:1 and small group support to students with additional needs
• Support pupils with SEMH, behavioural needs, and learning difficulties
• Help implement behaviour support plans and structured routines
• Build positive, professional relationships with students who may be disengaged from education
• Assist the teacher in delivering tailored and differentiated learning
• Promote emotional regulation, engagement, and independence

• Has experience working with young people (education, youth work, coaching, or care background welcomed)
• Is confident managing challenging behaviour in a firm but fair manner
• Builds rapport quickly and maintains professional boundaries
• Is consistent, reliable, and emotionally resilient
• Has a genuine desire to support vulnerable learners

Previous experience in Alternative Provision, PRUs, or SEND settings is desirable but not essential.

• £90 per day
• Rewarding role supporting vulnerable young people
• Opportunity to gain experience in specialist education settings
• Supportive school environments focused on positive outcomes
