Aspiring Psychologist Opportunity

Are you interested in supporting children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health issues? Would you like to build your experience working with Complex Needs and work alongside trained therapists, counsellors and psychologists?

An incredible specialist school for children with Social and Emotional Mental Health Needs based in Windsor is looking for a bright and enthusiastic Mental Health Assistant to support the academic learning, emotional wellbeing, and behaviour of these students. The SEN School is in Windsor, and the role is full-time starting ASAP or in September 2024. The SEN children are aged 8 to 18 and require consistent, ongoing support to ensure they have the highest quality of care and child-centred support.

The school employs a therapeutic approach and will offer a range of training to the mental health assistant appointed. Experience in a similar role would be desirable but not essential. Graduates in a relevant field would also be desirable (e.g., Psychology, Counselling, Criminology, etc.).

This is a fantastic opportunity for the mental health assistant to work alongside the therapists and psychologists based on-site at the school. You will be mentored and have the opportunity to shadow sessions and learn from them. Plus, you will gain invaluable experience working with Special Needs and Mental Health issues. This is a great opportunity for an aspiring educational or occupational psychologist, therapeutic support worker, or SEN teacher.

Overall, the school is looking for someone who is enthusiastic, caring, and resilient.

The SEN children in this school require a mental health assistant who understands their complex needs, is open-minded, and up for a challenge.
