Job Description:
A Specialist Provision that caters for students with mental health issues and behaviour challenges is looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join their team. This role will give you essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings – the perfect opportunity if you have aspirations within probation, rehabilitation, prison, youth, and social justice. The school is located in central Swindon.
You will be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with special educational needs (SEN), and a range of associated social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and challenges. Some of these students will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more ‘at risk’ of negative outcomes. You will therefore be instrumental in providing consistency and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
As a Learning Support Assistant at this SEMH School, you will play an instrumental role in helping the students manage their behaviour and help them develop positive coping strategies. Your day-to-day will involve working in the classroom, both in large groups and on a 1:1 basis, to help the students through their school day. This may include helping the students stay on task, manage their emotions, and interact positively with their fellow students. If you are passionate about helping children and young people to achieve their full potential and are ready for a challenge, then this is the role for you!
