Looking for a role where you genuinely make a difference every single day? This is one of those.

We're working with a SEN school and alternative provision setting in Bedale and surrounding area who are looking for calm, compassionate Teaching Assistants to support pupils with a range of additional needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

If you're patient, resilient, and passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to learning, you'll fit right in.

What's the role?

You'll be supporting students who may struggle with regulating emotions, building positive relationships, managing behaviour, or engaging in learning due to SEMH needs and other additional learning requirements.

Your role will be to provide consistency, encouragement, and a safe environment where pupils can build confidence and succeed.

No two days are the same, but that's part of the magic.

You might be:

• Supporting pupils with SEMH, ASD, ADHD, Autism, PMLD and other additional needs
• Building positive, trusting relationships with students who may have experienced challenges in education
• Working 1:1 or with small groups to provide tailored support
• Helping students develop emotional regulation, social skills and confidence
• Supporting behaviour in a positive, restorative way
• Creating a calm, structured environment where students feel safe and ready to learn
• Encouraging engagement, attendance and participation in lessons

Whether it's a specialist SEMH school, PRU, SEN setting or mainstream provision, your support can have a lasting impact on a young person's future.

What's in it for you?

• Immediate start roles available
• Supportive school teams who value what you bring
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff
• Free access to our CPD Academy
• A consultant who keeps things simple and has your back

What you'll need

• Experience working with children or young people with SEN and/or SEMH needs
• Confidence supporting students with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, PMLD and challenging behaviours
• A calm, patient and resilient approach to managing behaviours and building relationships
• Understanding of trauma-informed or restorative approaches is desirable
• SEN qualification or a care-based qualification
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (essential)
• References ready for clearance

A quick heads-up

If you're not already Thrive trained, it's a great addition to your skillset, and we offer it free. Schools particularly value Thrive and other therapeutic approaches when supporting students with SEMH needs, as they help build positive relationships and emotional resilience.

Why this role?

Because this isn't just support work, it's life-changing work.

For many students with SEMH needs, you're more than a Teaching Assistant. You're the calm in the chaos, the steady voice, the trusted adult who helps them believe in themselves and achieve their potential.

And schools notice that.
