Are you looking for a rewarding new role in education starting this September?

Whether you are an experienced Teaching Assistant, a qualified Level 2/3 Support Worker, or a recent Psychology Graduate looking to kickstart your career, we want to hear from you.

We are partnering with a fantastic SEMH school in the Blackburn area to host a dedicated Recruitment & Interview Day on Thursday 25th June.

We are entirely solution-focused and committed to finding the right fit for both our schools and our candidates.

For the right candidates, full on-site training will be provided, and we are offering summer team-teaching opportunities to ensure you are fully supported, confident, and ready to hit the ground running this September.

Key Roles Available:

Level 2 & Level 3 Teaching Assistants / Behaviour Support

Psychology Graduates (SEN / Pastoral Support pathways)

Cover Supervisors & Learning Support Assistants

What We Are Looking For:

Qualifications: Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare/Supporting Teaching and Learning, OR a degree in Psychology (or a related social science field).

Experience: Previous experience working with children or vulnerable young people is highly desirable, though passion and transferable skills are highly valued.

Attributes: A resilient, empathetic, and solution-focused approach to supporting student engagement and behaviour.

Availability: Must be available to attend the interview day in Blackburn on Thursday 25th June and be looking for a September 2026 start.

Benefits & Training Provided:

Summer Bridging Programme: Access to team-teaching and on-site training over the summer holidays to prepare you for September.

Compliance Flexibility: Candidates currently in employment are highly encouraged to apply; we can conduct initial interviews while your compliance and vetting checks are being finalised.

Clear Career Progression: Dedicated pathways from graduate or entry-level support into specialised SEN or pastoral roles.
