About the Role:

We are seeking a dedicated and resilient SEMH Teaching Assistant to join our team at a Pupil Referral Unit in Hertfordshire.

  • Assist in the development and implementation of individualized education plans (IEPs) tailored to meet the specific needs of each student.
  • Build strong relationships with students to encourage trust, respect, and positive behavior.
  • Support students in developing resilience, social skills, and emotional regulation techniques.
  • Contribute to the planning and delivery of interventions aimed at improving social, emotional, and academic outcomes for students.
  • Promote an inclusive learning environment where students feel valued and empowered to succeed.
Person Specification:
  • Resilience: A strong capacity to remain calm and focused in the face of challenging behavior, with the ability to handle difficult situations with patience and empathy.
  • Understanding: A deep understanding of the difficulties faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including trauma, abuse, and neglect.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build positive relationships with students, staff, and external stakeholders.
  • Experience: Previous experience working with children with SEMH needs, particularly in a PRU, special school, or alternative provision setting, is highly desirable.
  • Team Player: Ability to work collaboratively with other staff members, including teachers, support staff, and multi-agency teams.
  • Commitment: A genuine passion for working with vulnerable young people and a commitment to helping them achieve their potential.
  • Flexibility: A willingness to adapt to the varying needs of students and the challenges of working in a dynamic educational setting.
Requirements:
  • Previous experience in an SEMH or related role (preferably in a PRU or special education setting).
  • A relevant qualification in education, child development, or social work is desirable.
  • Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to undergo one).

GSL Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All candidates must undertake or have undertaken a valid enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Full assistance provided.
