**Empower young minds through connection, care, and commitment.**
Sense Education are looking for a warm, resilient and patient Primary Teaching Assistant to support pupils in a specialist SEMH provision within a primary school. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a lasting difference to children’s lives by supporting their emotional, behavioural and learning needs in a structured and nurturing environment.
**The role**
This role involves working closely with primary aged children who present with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Pupils may display challenging behaviours and may have additional diagnoses such as ADHD, ASD, trauma-related needs or attachment difficulties. The Teaching Assistant will support students both in and out of the classroom, helping to deliver tailored interventions, implement behaviour strategies and assist in lesson delivery under the guidance of the class teacher and SENCO.
Duties include:
- Supporting individual and small groups of pupils throughout the day
- Contributing to behaviour support strategies and personalised learning plans
- Working collaboratively with staff and external professionals to track progress
- Creating a calm, positive and predictable environment for all pupils
- Supporting with sensory or movement breaks and emotional regulation
**The ideal person**
- Have experience working with children with SEMH or similar additional needs
- Be patient, empathetic and consistent in their approach
- Remain calm under pressure and demonstrate strong behaviour management skills
- Have relevant qualifications (e.g., Level 2/3 in Supporting Teaching and Learning)
- Be confident working with pupils who may be dysregulated or non-verbal
- Understand trauma-informed approaches or be willing to undertake training
**The school**
The school is a specialist provision within a mainstream primary setting, designed to support children with significant SEMH needs in a smaller, carefully structured learning environment. Staff work as a close-knit team, and pupils benefit from high levels of pastoral care, therapeutic input and routine.
