Teaching Assistant - Mental Health & SEN

Are you an advocate for mental health? Do you feel passionate about helping children who struggle with theirs? Then this is the role for you!

A friendly, supportive school in Reading, Berkshire are looking for a Teaching Assistant to join their team and support their pupils with a range of mental health difficulties. The school are looking to employ someone who is patient, passionate about education and looking to make a difference to the lives of young people. The role would be to start immediately or as soon as possible.

The students at the school struggle to process and regulate their own emotions. This stems from childhood trauma and causes stress, anxiety, attachment issues and depression. As a Teaching Assistant, specialising in mental health and SEN, you will help the pupils cope with their emotions and help foster a sense of trust within the school environment. You will also help to shadow the class teacher and offer assistance with various classroom tasks.

The successful Teaching Assistant will be open-minded, resilient, confident and ready for a challenge. You will need to be flexible and be able to adapt your approach in the classroom to suit the needs of each child. Previous experience working with children with mental health needs is desirable but not essential. A positive attitude and high levels of enthusiasm are most important!

This role is an excellent opportunity for a recent university graduate who is interested in a long-term career in the mental health sector. You will gain first-hand experience working with complex social, emotional and mental health challenges, and learn how to cater to these needs. This will equip you with the necessary skills for future training as an educational or occupational psychologist, therapist, counsellor, teacher or even within the criminal justice system.
