Job Description

SEMH Learning Support Assistant – Farnborough. There are schools… and then there are schools that genuinely change the trajectory of a child’s life. We are working closely with a specialist SEND setting in Farnborough that supports pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and they are looking for Learning Support Assistants who can bring patience, resilience, and consistency into the classroom. This is not a “sit at the back and observe” kind of role. This is hands-on, relationship-driven, and incredibly rewarding.

Job Responsibility

  • Supporting pupils on a 1:1 and small group basis
  • Working with children who may present with challenging behaviour, trauma backgrounds, or emotional dysregulation
  • Helping pupils engage with learning in a way that works for them
  • Using a calm, consistent and restorative approach
  • Being a safe, reliable adult in the classroom

Requirements

  • Experience with SEMH, behaviour, or SEND (schools, care, youth work, support work – all relevant)
  • Confident, calm, and able to hold boundaries in a positive way
  • Understand that behaviour is communication
  • Can build trust and rapport with pupils who may find school difficult
  • Reliable and committed to long-term work

What we offer

  • Consistent hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 3:00pm
  • Long-term opportunity with potential to become permanent
  • Ongoing support from a team that actually understands SEND
  • The chance to make a real difference every single day
