About the Role

Passionate about mental health and emotional wellbeing?


Not every classroom success looks like top marks. Sometimes success is a pupil attending school, regulating emotions, or simply asking for help.

We’re looking for SEMH Teaching Assistants to join a specialist PRU setting, supporting pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs.

This role is ideal for someone who understands that behaviour is communication.
