School Mental Health Assistant

School Mental Health Assistant

We are seeking a School Mental Health Assistant to join a specialist SEND school in Flitwick from September. The school is keen to welcome graduates in Psychology, Criminology, Health and Social Care, or related fields, particularly those considering careers in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Counselling, or wider mental health professions.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to gain hands‑on experience supporting children and young people with a range of additional needs in a nurturing and specialist educational environment. Pupils present with a variety of needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, autism, and behavioural challenges. As such, the school is looking for resilient, compassionate, and committed individuals who can provide the consistency and stability their learners rely on throughout the academic year.

Previous experience working with children or vulnerable young people is desirable but not essential. The school places significant value on enthusiasm, empathy, and a genuine commitment to supporting learners with additional needs. Interviews are taking place throughout the summer term in preparation for a September start, so early applications are encouraged.

This is an ideal opportunity for aspiring Educational Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Counsellors, Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, and other professionals looking to build experience within the SEND and mental health sectors.
