Are you looking to kick-start your career in the Mental Health Sector?

Are you looking for a role where you can support the mental health of young people?

This Mental Health Teaching Assistant role will give you experience working with vulnerable students aged 4-19, increasing their engagement, attainment and life chances.

A well-respected specialist school near Guildford is looking for a Mental Health Teaching Assistant to support children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and challenges including trauma, anxiety, OCD, and behavioural issues. Some children / young people will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. The students therefore need a Mental Health Teaching Assistant who will be dedicated to being a consistent role model, is committed to building strong relationships, is empathetic and up for a challenge

A common feature for many children and young people with special educational needs is marginalisation and disadvantage, trauma, dysfunctional family relationships, low educational attainment and stigmatisation. Subsequently they face many barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.

This is a challenging role and any previous experience in a relevant field would be advantageous, but is not essential. Training, support and CPD is required in order for you to perform your duties and to ensure safeguarding of all students.

If you are looking to kick-start your career in Psychology, Mental Health or Education, then this Mental Health Teaching Assistant role is the perfect opportunity for you. You really will be having a positive impact on the lives of children and young people who need it most.
