Behaviour Support Assistant – Permanent Position      
Start Date: October 2025 (Interviews early September)
Contract Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people? GSL Education is delighted to be supporting a vibrant and forward-thinking secondary school in Farnborough to appoint a Behaviour Support Assistant. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with excellent behaviour management skills and strong conflict resolution abilities to join a dedicated team who are committed to ensuring every child achieves their full potential.

About the Role:

As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you will work closely with students who have been removed from the main classroom or are based within the school’s specialist resource unit. You’ll provide guidance, support, and encouragement to help students re-engage positively with learning.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting students on a 1:1 or small group basis.
• Managing challenging behaviour calmly and effectively.
• Implementing strategies to promote positive choices and emotional regulation.
• Working collaboratively with teaching staff, pastoral teams, and parents to ensure the best outcomes for every child.

About the School:

This secondary school in Farnborough is known for its inclusive ethos, supportive leadership team, and commitment to professional development. Staff wellbeing and career progression are at the heart of the school’s values, with regular CPD opportunities and the chance to grow into roles such as Pastoral Lead or SEN Support Specialist. The school prides itself on fostering a warm, collaborative environment where both students and staff can thrive.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong behaviour management and conflict resolution skills.
• Experience working with children or young people (in school, youth work, or similar settings).
• A resilient and empathetic nature, with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
• Transferable skills from roles such as Youth Worker, Sports Coach, Care Worker, or Learning Support Assistant are welcome, but childcare experience is essential.

Why Join?

• Permanent role with opportunities for career progression.
• A supportive school environment that values innovation and teamwork.
• Access to ongoing professional development and training.

If you’re enthusiastic about supporting young people to overcome barriers to learning and want to work in a school that truly invests in its staff, we want to hear from you.

Apply today with GSL Education, we pride ourselves on matching educators to their perfect roles and supporting you every step of the way.
