• This is an excellent position to gain really valuable experience whilst also making a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children.
• These students struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD and various other mood disorders. These young people need someone who can facilitate a positive and safe environment for them to learn and grow.
• As an emotional and mental health support assistant, you will directly be involved in helping children manage and cope with their emotions and mental health.
• Your day-to-day duties will involve supporting and shadowing the class teacher, whilst providing 1:1 support for the SEN students. You will also help run exciting lessons to ensure the classroom is a fun and exciting place. Behavioural management may also be required.
