Description:
Behaviour Support Specialist / SEN Teaching Assistant
Recruiter: GAC Education
Location: Liverpool, Merseyside
Daily Pay: £95.00 – £115.00 per day (with weekly payroll)
Position Type: Full-Time, Term-Time Only (Long-term assignment)
Are you someone who refuses to give up on a child? Do you have the patience, empathy, and thick skin required to turn a student's academic year around? GAC Education is looking for an impactful SEN TA / Behaviour Support Worker to make a real difference across our network of Liverpool schools.
The Role
Instead of just managing a classroom, you will be transforming a young person's educational experience. Acting as a dedicated SEN TA / Behaviour Support Worker, your days will involve supporting pupils dealing with complex social, emotional, and mental health challenges (SEMH), alongside neurodiverse conditions like ADHD and ASC.
You will be placed within inclusive mainstream or specialist alternative provisions right here in Liverpool. As a vital SEN TA / Behaviour Support Worker, your focus will be on reading the room, catching triggers before they escalate, running targeted small-group interventions, and acting as a steady, reliable mentor for students who find the traditional classroom layout overwhelming.
Who We Are Looking For
*
The Right Experience: A background in youth work, sports coaching, residential care, or previous school-based behavior roles is highly valued.
*
The Right Mindset: You remain calm in chaotic moments, possess natural de-escalation skills, and understand that "acting out" is usually a form of communication.
*
The Essentials: A valid, enhanced DBS check linked to the Update Service (or a commitment to secure a new one through us).
*
Added Value: If you hold a Team Teach or positive handling certificate, that is a massive bonus, but your attitude and resilience matter most.
