SEMH & Autism Teaching Assistant
Location: West Sussex
Salary: £20,496 – £26,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Contract Type: Permanent
Start Date: September 2025
Parker Smith Inclusion
Are you passionate about supporting young people who feel misunderstood, disengaged, or excluded from mainstream education? Do you want to make a meaningful impact on pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism?
Parker Smith Inclusion is working in partnership with a specialist school in West Sussex to recruit a committed and resilient SEMH & Autism Teaching Assistant. The school supports primary and secondary pupils, many of whom have faced trauma, disrupted education, and complex behavioural needs – including potential gang affiliation and high levels of emotional distress.
About the Role:
You will support students on a 1:1 and small group basis (4–8 pupils per class), helping them engage with learning, develop emotional regulation skills, and build confidence in a nurturing and consistent environment. This is a highly rewarding role that requires empathy, patience, and the ability to remain calm in challenging situations.
Key Responsibilities:
Support learning and emotional development of pupils with SEMH and Autism
Assist in delivering a creative and flexible curriculum
Help manage behaviours using positive, trauma-informed strategies
Foster trusting relationships with students who may be disengaged from education
Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and support staff
Who We’re Looking For:
Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, SEMH, or behavioural needs (desirable)
Confidence working with challenging behaviour and emotionally vulnerable students
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Calm, resilient, and nurturing with a passion for making a difference
Psychology graduates or candidates with youth work, care, or SEN backgrounds are very welcome to apply
What’s On Offer:
Permanent position through Parker Smith Inclusion
£20,496 – £26,000 per annum, based on experience
Full-time, term-time role
Extensive training and professional development in SEND and trauma-informed practice
A small, supportive school environment where you can make a lasting impact
How to Apply:
If you’re ready to take on a deeply rewarding role and help change the lives of young people who need it most, we’d love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a short covering statement to Jamie Martinez at Parker Smith Inclusion.
Science Teacher
Wandsworth
South West London
£198.80 - £298.14
Position: Science Teacher – SEMH (QTS Required)
Start Date: September 2025
Location: Wandsworth
Salary: MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance
Contract Type: Full Time, Permanent
Are you a passionate and resilient Science teacher with a strong commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people? Do you thrive in a nurturing but challenging environment? We are seeking an exceptional Science teacher to join our dedicated team at our specialist SEND secondary school, which supports pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and associated challenging behaviours.
About the Role:
This is not a typical classroom role. Our students may have experienced significant trauma, disrupted education, and struggle with emotional regulation. Many arrive at our school with a negative view of education. Your job will be to reignite their curiosity in science, re-establish trust in learning, and support them in achieving their full potential – both academically and personally.
You’ll be teaching Science across Key Stages 3 and 4, with a flexible and adaptive approach tailored to each pupil's individual learning and emotional needs. Creative teaching strategies, emotional literacy, and de-escalation skills will be just as important as your subject knowledge.
What We’re Looking For:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) – essential
Proven experience teaching secondary Science – ideally within a SEND or SEMH setting
Strong understanding of trauma-informed approaches and behaviour support
Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with students who may be anxious, disengaged, or dysregulated
A calm, empathetic, and resilient mindset
Excellent communication, adaptability, and teamwork
What We Offer:
A supportive and experienced multidisciplinary team
Ongoing CPD including training in behaviour management and trauma-informed practice
A nurturing working environment focused on staff well-being
The chance to make a lasting impact on young lives
This is more than a teaching role – it’s a chance to be part of a transformative journey for young people who need it most.
How to Apply:
Please submit your CV and a covering letter outlining your experience and motivation for applying to Jamie Martinez at PS Inclusion.
