Teaching Assistant - SEMH

FULL TIME, UNTIL JULY 2026 - STARTING IMMEDIATELY

This Good rated mainstream secondary school houses its own, on-site, specialist provision for young people who need that little extra support and guidance. Students in this provision can pose challenges but staff who are calm, patient, resilient and caring will make huge differences in this recently modernised setting.

This role would be ideal for either an experienced SEMH Teaching Assistant or someone considering teacher training for September 2026. This role of a TA is "all encompassing" and you will provide academic support, 1:1 mentoring, and some "crisis intervention". This is a full time role and will run until July 2026.

Standards are high and the young people in the school are supported from day one with a uniform approach by teachers and support staff, and a calm, positive environment is noticed from the moment you enter the school. Our client enjoys a strong reputation inside the SEMH domain and is proud of the standards they set.

You will be responsible for supporting young learners in a variety of secondary subjects, including Maths, English, Science, Humanities and PE. This role, due to the nature of the students, lends itself to graduates considering Primary or Secondary teacher training as you will obtain a sound understanding of the full curriculum.
