The Role

In this role you will be supporting a range of primary and secondary aged pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs within specialist learning and development sessions.

Due to the nature of this role, the school are only looking for Teaching Assistants with previous experience supporting pupils with SEMH or complex emotional and behavioural needs. PRU or similar experience would be preferable. Restraint training such as PRICE or de-escalation training is desirable, however, not essential; as PRICE training will be provided.

This small, independent school specialises in providing schooling for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH).

The dedicated staff team are committed to providing a nurturing and supportive learning environment that is adaptable to meet each student’s needs. The school offers stability needed to gain an emotional balance and wellbeing support to allow students to develop their self-esteem and a positive attitude to lifelong learning. Alongside the core teaching and support staff are a team of therapist and outreach workers providing the students with a rounded support programme.

The school is based in Wembley and benefits from being part of a larger charity focused on improving the mental health and well-being of children. 

There is an established leadership in place at the school who hold consistently high standards for their staff and there are good opportunities for professional development and career progression within the school.

If you have previous experience support young people with SEMH and behavioural needs and would like the opportunity to work in a supportive and progressive school, please apply immediately with an up-to-date CV outlining your experience.
