Would you like to work within a forward-thinking and supportive school? If so, King James’s School could be the place for you!
We are looking for passionate and self-motivated individuals to work within our pastoral team in the role of Behaviour Support Assistant. The successful candidates will play an essential role in re-enforcing standards of behaviour, working with students to ensure they continually meet our high expectations.
Excellent communication skills are essential to this role as you will need to liaise with staff, students, parents/carers and outside agencies on a daily basis. You will be able to demonstrate initiative, enthusiasm and flexibility. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated colleague to join a successful, progressive and happy school.
King James’s School is justifiably proud to be one of the highest attaining 11-16 comprehensive school in Kirklees and is regularly, heavily, oversubscribed. The school serves a suburban area and several villages to the south and east of Huddersfield. We became an Academy in September 2012. The school was awarded ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted in November 2019 and, at its most recent inspection in February 2025, Ofsted judged that “King James’s School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection”.
‘The King James’s Way’ sets out the values and commitments which lie at the centre of everything we do. Though we are proud of our academic success, we are equally proud of our inclusive approach and first class, wraparound pastoral care.
At King James’s School we are proud of our inclusive and supportive working environment. As an organisation that values and nurtures talent, we are committed to helping you fulfil your potential. With a comprehensive training and development programme, tailored to your needs and the requirements of the school, we will enable you to flourish in your role and perform to the very best of your abilities.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. We ask all applicants to provide us with two references, which will be obtained prior to any interview. We will also carry out online searches for all candidates who are shortlisted for interview as part of our due diligence. Any successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This post involves direct contact with children and is considered to be a regulated activity. This role is exempt for the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, so most criminal convictions must be disclosed to us.

If you have any questions about the role please call Tracey Brook, PA to the Principal, or email her (staff.tbrook@kingjames.school).
