Sen Teaching Assistant

We are recruiting a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs in a highly supportive, therapeutic school environment.

This role goes beyond traditional classroom support — it’s about building trust, repairing relationships, and helping young people succeed where they’ve previously struggled.

The Role

• Provide 1:1 and small group support for pupils with SEMH and additional needs
• Help pupils regulate emotions and re-engage with learning
• Build strong, consistent relationships with students
• Support a trauma-informed, structured approach to behaviour
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team (teachers, therapists, pastoral staff)

We’re Looking For

• Experience working with SEMH, behaviour or vulnerable young people
• Strong emotional resilience and patience
• A calm, consistent and empathetic approach
• Ability to de-escalate challenging situations effectively
• Passion for supporting students who need it most

 What You’ll Get

• Extensive training in behaviour, SEMH and trauma-informed practice
• Small class sizes and strong staff support
• A genuinely rewarding role where progress is visible
• Career pathways into teaching, therapy or pastoral leadership
