Contract: Full-time
Pay: £93–£110 per day

Not every day is easy in this role… but every day matters.

We’re looking for a resilient, confident TA to support a pupil with SEMH needs in BD4. This role is for someone who can stay calm when things feel anything but calm, someone who knows behaviour is communication, not just disruption.

  • Working alongside a strong pastoral and SEN team

You’ll need:

  • Experience with SEMH or challenging behaviour
  • Thick skin, a calm voice, and a good sense of humour
  • The ability to reset and go again, even after a tough moment

Why this role stands out:

  • Proper support from SLT who get it
  • Training opportunities in behaviour and SEN
  • A chance to genuinely change a pupil’s school experience

Protocol Education offers:

  • Weekly PAYE pay
  • Free CPD and behaviour training
  • Dedicated consultant support
  • Long-term opportunities in supportive settings
