SEMH Teaching Assistants needed in Wigan and the surrounding areas
Supporting vulnerable students in learning and development throughout Wigan and the surrounding areas.
The Reality of the Role
Every day is different and you will be working in a supportive and team led setting. In a specialised SEMH environment, success is de-escalating, maintaining boundaries with unwavering empathy and helping a young person to feel safe and secure. Supporting the teacher with the class and helping students to develop and grow in confidence and learning.
We are seeking a Day-to-Day Cover SEMH Teaching Assistant for specialised settings in and around Wigan. This is a hugely rewarding role, offering future development and work in a range of settings supporting pupils with complex and diverse emotional needs.
Why This Stands Out
-
Competitive Pay: £110–£120 per day (DOE) for your expertise, resilience, and specialised skills.
-
Focus on the Pupils: Step in, work with the teacher to manage student dynamics, build immediate rapport, and support impactful sessions without taking work home.
-
Specialised Environment: Work alongside a team that understands trauma-informed practice and prioritises pupil well-being.
What You Bring to the Table
-
Experience & Qualifications: Previous experience as a Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant, ideally with a TA or equivalent qualification.
-
Safety & Training: Active Team-Teach or Price certification (essential for handling high-anxiety and challenging behaviours safely and confidently).
-
Trauma-Informed Expertise: Direct experience supporting children with SEMH and developmental trauma, helping them work towards EHCP outcomes.
-
The Right Temperament: Unshakeable composure, clear boundaries, and a genuine belief that 'behaviour is communication.'
