We work on behalf of a brilliant special school on the outskirts of South Bristol that are looking for a full-time SEMH 1-1 Learning Support Assistant to support a student in a year 4 class. The school look after students with Social, Emotional & Mental Health needs (SEMH) for ages 4-16.

The role

This role is working 1-1 with a girl aged 9 years old with fairly complex SEMH. The student has difficulties in managing their emotions, behaviour and mental wellbeing.
