SEMH TEACHING ASSISTANT – SECONDARY
Thurrock | £110 per day PAYE
Some young people need someone who won't give up on them.
Secondary school can be a challenging environment, particularly for pupils who have experienced difficulties with emotional regulation, relationships, attendance or engagement.
We're looking for an SEMH Teaching Assistant who wants to support young people through those challenges.
Here's what you could be doing
-
Providing 1:1 and small-group support.
-
Helping pupils engage with classroom learning.
-
Supporting emotional regulation and de-escalation.
-
Developing positive relationships with pupils who may struggle to trust adults.
-
Encouraging attendance, participation and independence.
-
Supporting transitions between lessons and activities.
-
Helping pupils develop communication and social skills.
-
Working with teaching and pastoral teams.
The pupils
The provision supports secondary-aged learners with a range of SEMH needs, potentially alongside ADHD, ASC, anxiety and social communication difficulties.
What we're looking for
We'd particularly like to hear from people with experience in:
-
SEMH or specialist education.
-
Youth offending or youth support services.
-
Residential childcare.
-
Behaviour support.
-
Mentoring and pastoral work.
-
Supporting vulnerable teenagers.
You need to be confident, calm and consistent.
You also need to understand that a young person who pushes boundaries may be communicating something they don't yet know how to express.
Why apply?
If you're looking for a role where building relationships is just as important as supporting learning, this could be the type of opportunity worth exploring.
You could be the adult who helps a young person begin to see education differently.
Take the next step.
