Summary
Teaching Assistant - SEMH Focus
New Alternative Provision | East Riding, Yorkshire
Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Start: October 2025
This is not your usual classroom job.
A brand-new Alternative Provision is opening in East Riding this October, and Remedy Education is helping build the founding team. We're looking for a Teaching Assistant who gets that behaviour is often just the surface - and knows how to stick with young people even on the tough days.
This setting will support primary and secondary students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs - pupils who've struggled to settle in mainstream and need a more individual approach to learning, trust, and routine.
If you're calm, firm, and not afraid of a bit of chaos now and then - this might be the role you've been looking for.
What the role involves:
-
Supporting pupils with emotional regulation, behaviour, and engagement
