Are you considering a future career in Psychology, Counselling, Therapy, Teaching or Youth Work?
A supportive specialist provision in Wiltshire is seeking a caring and resilient Mental Health Assistant to join their team on a full-time temporary basis, with potential for the role to become permanent.
This is a rewarding opportunity for a Mental Health Assistant to gain hands-on experience supporting pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs within a nurturing and structured educational environment.
