Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant - 1:1 Support (KS2)

St. Albans ~ Full-Time ~ Long-Term ~ January Start

Are you a calm, compassionate, and skilled practitioner with a passion for supporting children who think and feel differently? We are looking for a SEN/ Specialist SEMH Teaching Assistant to work on a 1:1 basis with a KS2 pupil who presents with emerging SEMH needs and a possible PDA profile. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine and lasting impact within a welcoming mainstream primary school in St. Albans.

Although the pupil does not currently have an EHCP, a comprehensive and personalised support plan-developed in partnership with the SENDCo and Senior Leadership Team-is already in place. Your role will be central in delivering and developing this provision as the child's needs evolve.

Your Key Responsibilities as a SEMH Teaching Assistant

Provide consistent and nurturing 1:1 support to a KS2 pupil with SEMH and potential PDA needs
Build a trusting, positive relationship that helps the pupil engage and feel safe
Use effective strategies to support emotional regulation, communication, and engagement
Work collaboratively with the SENDCo, class teacher, and SLT to deliver personalised interventions
Help create a predictable, calm, child-led environment
Observe and track progress, contributing to ongoing reviews of the support planWho We're Looking For

Experience supporting children with SEMH, PDA, ASD or related needs
Strong skills in behaviour regulation, de-escalation, and relationship-based practice
Patient, empathetic, and creative-especially when plans need to change in the moment
Someone who can follow guidance but also think flexibly and responsively
Committed to safeguarding, inclusion, and the well-being of every child
Able to commute to St. AlbansWhy This Role Matters

This position is ideal for someone who wants to make a significant difference to a child's daily school experience. As a SEMH Teaching Assistant, you will be supporting a learner who may find aspects of the classroom environment challenging, and your presence will be key to helping them feel secure, understood, and able to succeed.

If you are dedicated, nurturing, and ready for a rewarding challenge, we'd love to hear from you. #St. Albans #St. Albans #Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant #Education and training #Education and training #Education and training #Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant #Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant #Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant #Social Emotional & Mental Health Teaching Assistant
