Are you passionate about supporting young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs?
Do you believe in the power of education to transform lives—academically and emotionally?

We are working with a specialist SEMH school committed to nurturing vulnerable students who face barriers to learning due to SEMH challenges, and in some cases, Autism.

As a SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Facilitate small group sessions to promote engagement and social skills

  • Collaborate closely with teachers and therapists to support academic progress

  • Help create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment

About You:

  • Experience working with young people with SEMH, autism, or related needs

  • Calm, empathetic, and resilient approach to behaviour

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

  • A genuine passion for inclusive education and student welfare

  • A background in education, youth work, psychology, or similar is advantageous.

Whether you're an experienced SEN TA or someone with the right attitude and transferable experience, for example, Youth Work, Psychology background, Youth Engagement and Diversion Officer, we’d love to hear from you.
