🌟 Ready to be someone’s favourite person at school?
At University Collegiate School, we don’t just educate minds, we shape futures, build confidence, and celebrate every small win (yes, even remembering a pen). We’re on the lookout for a Behaviour Teaching Assistant who’s equal parts calm, compassionate, creative… and maybe just a little bit superhero.
The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)
As a Behaviour Teaching Assistant, you’ll be the guiding star for students who need a little extra support navigating school life. You’ll:
💬 Build positive relationships that genuinely make a difference
🧠 Help students develop emotional regulation and resilience skills
🎓 Support learning by keeping students engaged, focused, and ready to succeed
🚀 Turn challenges into “watch me grow” moments
🤝 Work alongside teachers, parents, and support teams to champion every student
Think of yourself as part coach, part cheerleader, part strategist… with a great sense of humour 😄
What Makes You You
We're not looking for perfect — we're looking for passion. You’ll fit right in if you:
💡 Have experience supporting young people (school, youth work, mentoring — all welcome!)
💙 Lead with empathy but can set firm, fair boundaries
🎭 Can switch from serious supporter to playful motivator in seconds
🧘 Stay calm when things get a little… lively
📣 Believe every student has potential — even on those days
Bonus points if:
You’ve got a great story, joke, or motivational phrase on standby
You celebrate progress like it’s a national holiday 🥳
