Teaching Assistant (Social, Emotional, Mental & Health Needs SEMH) Job Summary

The Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you will work with our teaching and other support staff to help identify pupils within vulnerable groups, specifically those with special needs.

You will be vital in helping them become independent learners, stay focused and engaged in the tasks and lessons set by the teacher, help explain different tasks and activities, assist with a wide range of classroom and school-based activities, and provide 1:1 and group support to pupils. This may include listening to children read, reading to them, or telling them stories.

Throughout the day, you will help prepare the classroom and learning spaces, create displays and exhibitions of the children's work, and prepare for different activities.

You will support pupils who need extra support to complete tasks or have difficulty engaging with schoolwork. You will also watch for challenging behaviour and help pupils promote positive behaviour. You will offer emotional support to help pupils in their emotional and social development, and you will inform other staff about any issues.

About You

You will be passionate about ensuring all children are supported to do their best. You will be trustworthy, enthusiastic, full of energy, well-organised, and self-motivated.

You will also have excellent communication skills and be able to build a solid and appropriate rapport with children and parents/carers.

You need to have excellent numeracy and literacy skills and be passionate about making learning irresistible for children. You should also be able to adapt where necessary to support children's individual needs.

You will also need to maintain confidentiality, be highly professional, and be committed to improving your own practice.

Ideally, you will have experience working with children across the primary curriculum, including those with social, emotional, and mental health needs.

About Us

We are proud to offer:
  • An ambitious school management team committed to staff professional learning.
  • Dedicated, professional and determined staff.
