We are looking for a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our supportive and forward-thinking team, working with students aged 11–16 who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

About the Role

As a Teaching Assistant in our SEMH provision, you will:

* Support young people in overcoming barriers to learning, both in and out of the classroom

* Build positive, trusting relationships with students to help them feel safe, understood, and valued

* Work closely with teachers and pastoral staff to deliver tailored support and interventions

* Team-focused, able to collaborate closely with colleagues to ensure the best outcomes for students

* Empathetic and patient, with the ability to build strong, supportive relationships

* Resilient, understanding that progress can take time—and every small step counts

Experience in SEMH, SEN or youth work is beneficial but not essential—we value attitude, commitment, and the desire to grow in the role. Training and ongoing support will be provided. xiskglj
