Are you a student or someone seeking flexible work to fit around other commitments? We are currently recruiting for proactive and confident Teaching Assistants to support children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. A number of schools in Greenwich are looking for individuals with experience or a keen willingness to learn how to assist children with additional needs, particularly those with SEMH or Special Educational Needs (SEN).
In this role, you'll work with students either on a 1:1 basis or in small groups within a classroom environment. The pupils you support will range from ages 2 to 19 and may have conditions such as Autism, ADHD, PDA, challenging behaviours, and physical disabilities like Down Syndrome. Your support will extend to the classroom, specialist mentoring sessions, and occasionally during break times. Some students may exhibit more challenging behaviours, and training in relevant intervention techniques will be provided.
As part of the child's support team, you'll collaborate closely with the SENCO, senior staff, and external professionals such as therapists, healthcare experts, and CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services).
We are particularly interested in candidates who:
- Have a flexible, adaptable approach
- Are available for daily temporary work
- Are passionate about helping children with additional needs
