Teaching Assistant Level 4 - Behaviour Support Travel Training

Job description

We are looking for a motivated and supportive individual to join our Education Transport Team as a Teaching Assistant Level 4 – Behaviour Support Travel Training.

In this rewarding role, you will support children and young people who face barriers to accessing home to school transport or developing independent travel skills. Working particularly with learners who present with behavioural challenges and those with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), you will help build confidence, independence and positive travel behaviours.

Working closely with families, schools, transport providers and partner agencies, you will assess individual needs, develop support strategies, provide practical travel training and monitor learner progress.

As part of your daily role, you will accompany learners on transport, teaching them safe travel skills, supporting positive behaviour during journeys, and helping them build the confidence to travel independently. You will work closely with parents, carers and schools to track progress and provide personalised support that enables learners to access education safely and successfully.

Do you have:

Experience of working with children and young people, particularly those with ALN
Experience of supporting children and young people with behavioural challenges
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
The ability to work independently and as part of a multi-agency team
Good organisational, record-keeping and report-writing skills
A commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and supporting positive outcomes for young people

We welcome applications from individuals with experience working with children and young people, particularly those with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and/or behavioural challenges. This role would suit Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, Youth Workers, Behaviour Support Workers, Care Workers, Family Support Workers, Travel Trainers, or others with relevant experience supporting young people to develop confidence and independence.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is patient, resilient, organised and passionate about helping young people achieve positive outcomes.

We believe in rewarding and recognising our colleagues’ efforts and achievements. We also believe that there’s life at work and life outside of work. We want everyone to be healthy and happy and have the financial resources and support they need.

Choose to work for us and you’ll be rewarded with a range of attractive benefits and support to help you live your best life.

Hybrid working (in some roles) and flexible working schemes to improve your work life balance
Benefit from a competitive employee package with Local Government pension contribution
Enjoy a holiday entitlement of 25 days, increasing to 32 days after 5 years’ service (not forgetting the additional 8 bank holidays too)
Access discounted gym membership with Celtic Leisure
Utilise the cycle to work scheme with up to 40% off bikes and cycling equipment
Purchase a new car through Tusker salary sacrifice scheme
Enjoy exclusive discounts at local and national retailers with the Smart Spend app through our staff wellbeing group.

If you would like to start a rewarding career with a company that values and invests in its employees and you have the necessary experience and qualifications, this could be your dream job and we would love to hear from you.
