Are you an experienced and resilient Teaching Assistant with a passion for supporting children with social, emotional and mental health needs?

Long Term Futures is working with a specialist SEN school to recruit a committed SEMH Teaching Assistant to support pupils across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. This is a highly rewarding role within a specialist setting that prioritises emotional regulation, positive relationships and long-term pupil development.

The Role
This role involves supporting children with SEMH and additional SEND, many of whom require consistent support with emotional regulation, behaviour management and engagement with learning. Pupils are taught in small, structured groups, allowing for a highly personalised approach to learning and behaviour support.
You will work closely with class teachers, behaviour specialists and the wider pastoral team to provide consistent, calm and trauma-informed support throughout the school day. The role includes classroom-based support alongside planned interventions to help pupils regulate, re-engage and access learning.

Key Responsibilities

- Providing 1:1 and small-group support in a specialist SEN environment
- Supporting emotional regulation using consistent behaviour strategies
- Assisting with de-escalation and positive behaviour management
- Encouraging engagement with learning through structured routines
- Supporting pupils' social, emotional and academic development
- Working collaboratively with teachers and support staff

About the School
- Specialist SEN school catering for pupils with SEMH and SEND
- Small class sizes with high staff-to-pupil ratios
- Strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing and regulation
- Supportive leadership team with a clear behaviour framework

What the School Is Looking For
- Previous experience supporting pupils with SEMH and SEND
- Confidence managing challenging behaviour in a calm, consistent manner
- Understanding of trauma-informed or restorative approaches
- Patient, resilient and emotionally intelligent approach
- School-based experience preferred (mainstream or specialist)

Why Work with Long Term Futures?
- Long-term stability with potential for a permanent role
- Weekly pay and competitive rates
- Free CPD, including behaviour and SEN training
- Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
