SEMH Leaning Mentor

Are you passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people with complex learning needs?

Spark Ed Recruitment is partnering with a welcoming and forward-thinking school in the Exeter area to recruit Behaviour Support Assistants to work across Key Stages 3 and 4. You will support students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

SEMH needs may include:

Challenging behaviour, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

We welcome applications from candidates with varying levels of experience. While previous experience supporting young people with challenging behaviour is beneficial, it is not essential.

Who We're Looking For

• A flexible, enthusiastic individual with a genuine interest in supporting children with special educational needs
• No prior school-based experience required - full online training will be provided
• Graduates and candidates with transferable skills in childcare, psychology, youth work, or social care are encouraged to apply
• A patient, resilient, and dedicated approach to supporting children with complex needs, including Autism and ADHD

What's in It for You

• Competitive pay rates reflecting your skills and commitment
• Wellbeing support to help maintain a healthy work-life balance
• 24/7 access to a dedicated personal consultant for ongoing guidance and support
• Continuous training and professional development opportunities
• A supportive, inclusive environment where you can grow and make a meaningful impact in education
