SEMH Teaching Assistant
Can you bring calm where there is chaos, care where there is challenge, and consistency where it matters most? As a SEMH Teaching Assistant, you’ll be a child's safe person who helps them feel understood, supported, and ready to learn.
The Role
This is a long-term temporary role, with the potential to become permanent. The successful applicant will support pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, both one-to-one and within the classroom.
Daily responsibilities will include:
Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and behaviour
Delivering or supporting small-group interventions such as Zones of Regulation, ELSA, or social skills programmes
Responding calmly and consistently to emotional or behavioural dysregulation
Working closely with teaching and pastoral staff to implement behaviour and support plans
Supporting transitions between activities and throughout the school day to reduce anxiety and increase pupil engagement
Maintaining records and providing feedback on progress and concerns
The role requires an emotionally intelligent, reliable individual who understands trauma-informed practice and can act as a steady, positive presence for children with SEMH needs.
The Ideal Person and Skills / Education Needed
Applicants must:
Teaching Assistant qualification
Have experience working with children with SEND, SEMH, or behavioural needs
Additional experience or training in areas such as ELSA, counselling, mentoring, or therapeutic interventions is beneficial
Be resilient, emotionally attuned, and confident managing challenging behaviour
Be committed to safeguarding and supporting the wider emotional wellbeing of pupils
The School
This mainstream primary is committed to inclusion and pupil well-being. With a strong pastoral approach, the school works hard to ensure pupils with SEMH needs feel safe, supported and understood. Staff collaborate closely to create a calm, consistent learning environment that supports the whole child.
Hours
Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 3.30 pm. Full-time and part-time applicants welcome.
Be the support a child remembers for a lifetime.
Safeguarding children is an integral part of what we do and we have a stringent safer recruitment process. We undertake checks on all the candidates we work with. As such we require a current Enhanced DBS Disclosure for everyone working in Schools. If you do not have a subscription to the DBS Update Service, you may be required to complete a new DBS application as part of the registration process. If you take a temporary role with Sense Education you will be paid on a weekly basis. All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position but long term. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available.
