Your new school
You will be joining a highly supportive SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) specialist school dedicated to providing a nurturing, structured and trauma‑informed environment for young people who have found mainstream education challenging.

- Assisting with the delivery of lessons across the KS1/KS2 curriculum, adapting learning where needed.
- Supporting emotional regulation, positive behaviour and daily routines.
- Building strong, trusting relationships to promote stability, confidence and engagement.
- Contributing to a calm, structured classroom environment using trauma informed strategies.
- Assisting with phonics, literacy and numeracy interventions tailored to individual needs.
- Working collaboratively with teachers, pastoral staff and external professionals.
This is a meaningful and rewarding role for someone who wants to help young learners build the foundations for future success.
What you'll need to succeed
- Experience working with SEN or SEMH pupils-ideally within a primary school or alternative provision.
- A nurturing, patient and trauma informed approach to supporting children.
- Strong behaviour support and de‑escalation skills.
- Confidence in building rapport with young pupils who may struggle with trust, emotional regulation or transitions.
