Job Description:

Are you a recent University graduate? Are you interested in supporting children with mental health challenges? Are you passionate about helping others, with a patient and encouraging approach?

A Specialist School in Bath (BA2) are seeking a dedicated Graduate to join their team as a Mental Health & Behaviour Support Assistant. The school caters for children aged 4-16 who face social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges, including attachment disorders, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem.

* Start ASAP
* £90 to £100 per day, dependent on experience
* Bath - BA2
* Monday - Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm
* Graduate Opportunity – Psychology, Criminology

Many of the pupils have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and therefore struggle in a mainstream environment. In this role, you will be supporting a small class of 5 to 10 pupils, collaborating with the schools teaching team, therapists and support staff to deliver specialist education and interventions that aim to boost the students’ learning, personal development and emotional growth.

As a Mental Health & Behaviour Support Assistant, you will:

* Encourage academic progress and provide emotional support.
* Manage and respond to challenging behaviours caused by SEMH needs.
* Identify individual needs and triggers, and help guide students to overcome obstacles.
* Promote positive decision-making, reducing anti-social behaviours, and increase academic performance through trauma-informed practices.

This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a supportive specialist environment. By engaging with restorative and trauma-informed practices, you will build a strong foundation for a future career in Psychology, Therapy, Counselling, or Social Work.
