Are you a resilient, calm, and empathetic individual with a passion for supporting children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs?
We are seeking a dedicated 1:1 Teaching Assistant to work within a specialised SEMH school setting. This is a challenging yet deeply rewarding role where you will support a pupil who may have experienced trauma, exhibit school refusal, or struggle with emotional regulation. Your mission is to provide a consistent, "safe" presence that allows them to re‑engage with learning.
- De‑escalation & Regulation: Utilising positive behaviour management strategies to help the pupil manage their emotions and stay regulated.
- Relationship Building: Developing a strong, trust‑based bond to help the student feel secure and valued within the school environment.
- Nurturing Curriculum: Supporting the delivery of a bespoke curriculum that balances academic learning with social and emotional development.
- Crisis Intervention: Safely managing challenging behaviours in line with school policy and training (e.g., Team‑Teach or Price).
- Targeted Implementation: Working directly with the student's EHC plan to meet specific social and emotional milestones.
- Reporting: Providing detailed feedback on triggers, successes, and behavioural trends to the SENCO and therapy teams.
We are looking for a candidate with "thick skin" and a big heart who meets the following criteria:
- Experience: Proven experience working with SEMH, EBD (Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties), or within a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit).
- Resilience: The ability to remain calm and objective when faced with challenging verbal or physical behaviours.
- Trauma‑Informed: An understanding of how mental health and past experiences impact a child's ability to learn.
- Training: Valid de‑escalation training (e.g., Team‑Teach, MAPA, or PRICE) is highly desirable, though a willingness to learn is essential.
- Personality: Proactive, non‑judgemental, and possessing a great sense of humor‑vital for building rapport in this setting.
- Salary: £90 per day.
- Specialist Experience: Gain invaluable experience in a therapeutic educational environment.
- Supportive Team: Work alongside trauma‑informed practitioners and SEN specialists.
- Immediate Impact: The opportunity to be the positive turning point in a young person's educational journey.
