This is a highly rewarding opportunity to support primary-aged pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs in a nurturing and structured environment.

  • Following lesson plans and adapting activities where needed
  • Building positive relationships with pupils and staff
  • Managing behaviour in a calm, consistent and supportive manner
  • Working collaboratively with teachers, teaching assistants and senior staff
  • Creating a safe, positive and engaging classroom environment

Requirements:

  • Experience working with children or young people, ideally within education or SEND/SEMH settings
  • A flexible and positive approach
  • Confidence covering different classes and adapting to changing situations
  • Strong behaviour management and communication skills
  • Resilient, patient and calm under pressure
  • A genuine passion for helping pupils succeed
What we offer:
  • Term time only – great work-life balance
  • School hours – no night shifts or long 12-hour days
  • Opportunity to make a real impact every day
  • Supportive team environment
  • Ongoing training and development
