Teaching Personnel are looking for an experienced Teaching Assistant which is able to assist pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties (SEMH) and challenging behaviour. This will be situated within a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), therefore an age range of 3-19 will apply. The job role is situated within Neath / Port Talbot.

We are looking for an individual which is enthusiastic to make a difference and be able to de-escalate, distract and keep pupils calm and collected during their scheduled learning times.
