Devizes, United Kingdom Academics Full time

Are you a recent Psychology/Criminology Graduate looking to kick-start your career in the Mental Health Sector?

Are you looking for a role where you can support children facing mental health challenges at school?

Then look no further…

A friendly and inclusive Specialist School in Devizes are looking for a Child Mental Health Assistant to support their students with social, emotional and mental health needs. The pupils have a range of difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, attachment disorders and behavioural issues. The students therefore need a Mental Health Assistant who is understanding of their needs, proactive and ready for a challenge

As a Child Mental Health Assistant, you will help support the students throughout the school day, aiding their academic learning as well as their interpersonal skills. You will follow therapeutic practice, and help each child to regulate their own emotions and cope with the mental challenges they face on a daily basis. You will also provide general assistance to the class teacher, and help liaise with on-site Psychologists and Therapists to ensure each child is getting the most out of their education.

The pupils in this school have extremely complex needs and therefore require a Child Mental Health Assistant who is open-minded, resilient, and knowledgeable about mental health. The perfect candidate will therefore have experience working with children or vulnerable adults. Graduates who have qualified in Psychology, Criminology or Counselling would be perfect for this position.

The school has small class sizes to allow for greater 1:1 time between pupils and the staff. The school also focuses on promoting inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of school life. It encourages the development of appropriate social skills and positive behavioural choices, through restorative and therapeutic practices.
