Year 9 SEMH Teaching Assistant

Year 9 SEMH Teaching Assistant

• Special school
• SEMH Students
• September start
• Full-time & long-term position

We work closely with a fantastic special school based in the South of Bath that is looking for a Year 9 SEMH Teaching Assistant to join from September. The school looks after students with Social, Emotional & Mental Health Needs (SEMH).

The school is part of a well‑respected trust that continues to grow. Staff who have joined the school permanently report a positive, supportive team culture.

The TA will support the class teacher with a range of tasks, focusing on 1‑to‑1 support for students who may be struggling. You will be expected to adopt a proactive approach and assist across various Year 9 classes.

Because the students have complex needs you must feel confident working with challenging behaviour. Ideally you have experience in a similar setting, but mainstream TAs who wish to make the transition to special school work are welcomed.

• Experience working with SEMH students or in a special educational needs setting is highly desirable.

• Ability to manage challenging behaviour and maintain a supportive learning environment.

• Good communication skills and a willingness to work collaboratively with teachers.

• Guarantee Pay Scheme opportunities
• Permanent job roles
• Support and advice during the clearance and onboarding process
• Compliance with Agency Workers Regulations
• Interview preparation, advice and support
  
  Statutory employment rights, such as: sick pay, holiday pay, maternity and paternity pay
