An outstanding specialist school for children with Social and Emotional Mental Health Needs and Autism based in Kidlington is looking for a bright and enthusiastic Graduate to work as a Mental Health Assistant to support children with behaviour and mental health issues. Ideally, the Graduate will have qualified in Psychology, Counselling, or Criminology, but other subjects will also be considered. Candidates with relevant experience will also be considered! The SEN School is in Kidlington, and the role is full-time starting ASAP. The SEN children are aged 4 to 11 and require consistent, ongoing support to ensure they have the highest quality of care and child-centred support. Experience in a similar role would be desirable but not essential. Graduates in a similar field will also be considered (e.g. Psychology, Criminology, etc.).
This is a FANTASTIC opportunity for any Psychology Graduate to work alongside the therapists and psychologists based on-site at 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.
The SEMH School is looking for a Mental Health Assistant who can bring enthusiasm, passion, and experience to the classroom.
