Then read on because this is the role for you!
An excellent Specialist school in Slough is looking for a Mental Health Teaching Assistant to join their team starting as soon as possible.
This school helps children who have Autism as their main diagnosis cope and manage with their school, while also providing the best education possible. They take inclusivity very seriously, and the head teacher goes above and beyond to ensure that students are taken care of.
These students have ASD as their main diagnosis, and with ASD often comes a variety of other learning difficulties. These students may also struggle with OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, verbal difficulties, and language processing disorders.
As a Mental Health Teaching Assistant, your main duties will include helping students cope with their school work and encouraging a safe and fun environment for learning. You will support students on every step of their academic journey.
While your main priority is to be there for the students, you will also support the class teacher. Your duties will range from helping to set up lessons, tidying up afterwards, decorating the classroom with relevant topics, and providing general supervision of the children.
You will have the advantage of shadowing the class teacher and being exposed to a variety of methods and techniques to support these children effectively.
The successful Mental Health Teaching Assistant will possess a positive attitude and be passionate about making a difference in children's lives. You should be resilient, confident, and able to adapt your approach to meet the needs of each child. Experience working with children, especially those with ASD, will be beneficial. Graduates in Psychology, Criminology, Sociology, and other related fields are encouraged to apply, as well as those with backgrounds in sports, music, art, and drama.
