Drama Graduate - Behaviour Support Assistant

Location: Leicester
Start Date: ASAP
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Contract: Full-time and part-time opportunities available

Are you a Drama Graduate looking to kick-start your career in education?

Are you passionate about helping young people reach their full potential? Do you have the confidence, creativity and patience to support students with challenging behaviour?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Drama Graduate to work in schools across Leicester, supporting students who may struggle with behaviour, engagement and emotional regulation.

This role is perfect for graduates who are considering a future career in teaching, educational psychology, youth work or behaviour support and want to gain valuable, hands-on experience in a school environment.

The Role

As a Behaviour Support Assistant, you will work alongside teachers and pastoral teams to support students who need additional guidance and encouragement to succeed in education.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting students with challenging behaviour and additional behavioural needs.
• Building positive relationships with students and acting as a positive role model.
• Helping students manage their emotions, develop confidence and engage with learning.
• Using your creativity and communication skills to make learning engaging and accessible.
• Supporting classroom activities and helping maintain a positive learning environment.
• Working closely with teachers and school staff to implement behaviour management strategies.

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in Drama Graduates who are enthusiastic about working with young people and making a difference in their lives.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Hold a degree in Drama, Performing Arts or a related subject.
• Are considering a career in teaching and want to gain classroom experience.
• Have excellent communication, interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• Are confident, resilient, patient and adaptable.
• Can remain calm and positive when dealing with challenging behaviour.
• Have a genuine passion for supporting young people and helping them succeed.

Previous school experience is desirable but not essential, as the right attitude, confidence and willingness to learn are just as important.

Why Apply?

• Gain valuable, hands-on experience working in schools.
• Develop behaviour management and classroom support skills.
• Build confidence before pursuing teacher training or a PGCE.
• Work alongside experienced teachers and education professionals.
• Make a genuine difference to students who need additional support.
• Access opportunities to develop your career within education.
