There is an old Bamboo plugin GitHub Status. You can try to install it.

If that doesn't help, there is always an option to add a couple of custom scripts which will post statuses via GitHub Status API.

In fact, it's very simple, all you need is just to make a POST request to your repo:

POST /repos/:owner/:repo/statuses/:sha
{
  "state": "success",
  "target_url": "https://example.com/build/status",
  "description": "The build succeeded!",
  "context": "continuous-integration/jenkins"
}

where :sha is a commit which triggered the build. It's stored in environment variable {bamboo.planRepository.revision}.
