SEMH Teaching Assistant - Secondary, Leeds
Academic Appointments are currently working with a "Good" secondary SEMH provision for pupils aged between 11 and 16 years old.
This role is to start in October on a full-time ongoing basis with the possibility of becoming permanent for the right candidates.
As a SEMH Teaching Assistant, you will be given an opportunity to make a positive impact on some of the most at-risk students in the area and to provide 1:1 support for a child to progress to the next stages of their education.
Who are we looking for?
* Have experience in an educational setting either in mainstream schools or any other alternative provision.
* A history of working with students with challenging behaviour.
* A confident, caring, and assertive personality.
What to expect?
* Working in this setting requires patience, confidence, and a caring attitude as the student has complex social, emotional, and mental health issues which need to be managed.
* The student has difficulties in displaying these emotions in a productive way so the use of Team Teach positive behaviour management strategies may be needed.
* The student will require positive reinforcement from you when they display good behaviours.
What we need from you:
* 2x references.
* A valid Enhanced DBS Certificate or be willing to obtain one (we can assist with this part).
* Team Teach Positive behaviour management certificate preferred but not essential.
