SEMH Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant Needed in Llandeilo & Llanelli

• Experience working with challenging behaviour is advantageous
• Position is in a mainstream school, supporting behaviour
• Team Teach training is advantageous

Teaching Personnel work with several schools in the Llanelli area which are in need of experienced teaching assistants. Many of these schools work on a behaviour support scheme which introduces a teaching assistant to a class to particularly focus on improving behaviour with certain groups of pupils. Sometimes this requires working one-to-one or with a small group of pupils, as well as working to generally support the class.

A school in Llanelli are currently looking for two teaching assistants for behaviour support, one position specifically for a one-to-one role and the other as a general teaching assistant. The right applicant would have experience dealing with pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health challenges that lead to challenging behaviour, and ideally be Team Teach trained. You would not be phased by high tariff behaviour and be confident de-escalating behaviour and at times using restraining techniques. Experience working as a one-to-one teaching assistant would be beneficial, as well as experience as a general teaching assistant.

Team Teach training would be advantageous, however if you do not have this training Teaching Personnel is running a course during the Easter holiday which you can enrol on to gain this qualification. Ideal applicants would have their own transport and be happy traveling around Carmarthenshire if necessary.

To apply for this position please contact Chris on 01792 473 300 or send your up to date CV to christopher.hancock@teachingpersonnel.com. If you have other teaching assistant experience and are looking for a role similar to this it is still worth sending over your CV in case we have any other vacancies better suited to your experience.
