A Specialist school for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and SEND needs is looking for experienced Behaviour Teaching Assistants to support pupils on a long-term basis.

The Role

The school seeks a highly skilled SEND TA experienced with highly complex A.S.D./SEMH pupils. Responsibilities include supporting pupils' daily, academic, and social-emotional development, preparing them for secondary education. The role involves providing interventions and covering classes across the school, supporting teachers with learning activities both in and out of school under supervision.

Applicants should have prior experience supporting pupils with SEMH or complex emotional and behavioral needs. PRU or similar experience is preferred. Restraint or de-escalation training such as PRICE is desirable but not essential; training will be provided.

Located in Wembley, the school is part of a larger charity focused on children's mental health. Leadership maintains high standards, with opportunities for professional development and career progression.

If you have experience supporting young people with SEMH and behavioral needs and wish to work in a supportive, progressive environment, please apply immediately with an up-to-date CV outlining your experience.
