Full-time • Term-time Only • Full Academic Year
Pay: £92.63–£97.00 per day
Axcis Education is proud to be working with a specialist Alternative Learning Provision in Redcliffe, Bristol, to recruit a full-time Behaviour Support Teaching Assistant for the full academic year starting in September.
This unique setting supports Key Stage 4 pupils who are unable to access mainstream education due to Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs or behavioural challenges. The provision takes a trauma-informed approach, helping young people rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning and develop the practical skills they need for life beyond school.
