Criminology Graduate Opportunity (Swindon)

Are you a recent Criminology Graduate? Are you interested in a career in Youth Justice or Probation, and don’t know where to start? Are you passionate about demonstrating the value of education and learning to vulnerable groups of children?

If so then this is the role for you!

A Specialist Provision in Swindon that caters for students with mental health issues and behaviour challenges are looking for a Criminology Graduate to join their team as a Behaviour Support Assistant. This role will give you essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings – the perfect opportunity if you have aspirations within probation, rehabilitation, prison, youth and social justice.

You will be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with special educational needs (SEN), and a range of associated social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and challenges, and traumas. Some of these students will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. Many of the children face various barriers in lie and are more ‘at risk’ of negative outcomes. You will therefore be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.

As a Graduate Behaviour Support Assistant, you will play an instrumental role in helping the students manage their behaviour and help them develop positive coping strategies. Your day to day will involve working in the classroom, both in large groups and on a 1:1 basis, to help the students through their school day. This may include helping the students stay on task, manage their emotions and interact positively with their fellow students. If you are passionate about helping children and young people to achieve their full potential, and are ready for a challenge then this is the role for you!

If you are interested in working with criminal justice in the future, and want to utilise your Criminology degree, this is a fantastic opportunity! Not only will you gain relevant experience and skills by working hands-on with challenging behaviour and hard-to-reach students, you will also gain networking opportunities with teachers, therapists and psychologists on-site at the school.
