Make a Real Difference: Teaching Assistant for SEMH Needs

Are you a compassionate and dedicated individual looking for a full-time, temporary role where you can truly empower young people? We're seeking Teaching Assistants to join our team in Bath, Somerset, supporting pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is your chance to work in a stimulating and supportive learning environment, where you'll play a vital role in fostering academic progress and personal development.


Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a collaborative Teaching Support department, working closely with experienced teachers and other dedicated staff. We believe in creating a positive learning experience for our students, helping them to thrive and reach their full potential.


Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Teaching Assistant, you'll be instrumental in:

  • Providing direct support to pupils with SEMH needs.

  • Helping to create and maintain a positive and engaging learning environment.

  • Fostering academic progress and encouraging personal growth.

  • Collaborating effectively with teachers and other support staff to ensure holistic student development.


What We're Looking For

We value individuals who are:

  • Patient, empathetic, and possess a calm demeanour.

  • Equipped with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Strong team players who can follow instructions effectively.

Relevant experience and qualifications are desired, but your willingness to learn and a positive attitude are essential. While experience working with children with SEMH needs is highly desirable, it's not essential as comprehensive training will be provided.
