SEMH Teaching Assistant
Increase your chances of reaching the interview stage by reading the complete job description and applying promptly.
This isn't the easiest role you'll ever do, but it could be one of the most rewarding.
Some children need more than classroom support. They need someone who can see beyond the behaviour, build trust, and help them believe in themselves again.

What you'll be doing:
Supporting pupils with SEMH needs in the classroom and around the school
Building positive relationships that help children feel safe, valued and ready to learn
Using positive behaviour strategies to support emotional regulation and engagement
Working closely with teachers, SENCOs and other professionals to help every pupil succeed
Celebrating the small wins, because they often become the biggest breakthroughs
We are looking for candidates with:
Experience with SEMH, SEND, or challenging behaviour (school or alternative settings)
Calm and patience, even in high-pressure situations
Aility to build strong, positive relationships with pupils
Resilience, empathy, and a genuine passion for supporting young people
