Are you an individual who is passionate about supporting children with their mental health needs? If so…

A really rewarding position has become available for an Emotional and Mental Health support assistant to work in a school in Reading.
This is an excellent position to gain valuable experience whilst also making a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children.
These students struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD and various other mood disorders. They need a positive and safe environment to learn and grow.
As an emotional and mental health support assistant you will directly help children manage and cope with their emotions and mental health.
You will support and shadow the class teacher, provide 1:1 support for SEN students, help run exciting lessons and may need to handle behavioural management.
The role suits someone who is resilient and confident in supporting young people with challenging mental health needs. It is a great opportunity for aspiring psychologists, social workers, therapists and counsellors.
Experience working with vulnerable children is desirable but not essential. A background in sports, art or drama, or a relevant graduate degree, is an advantage.
