Are you hoping to become a Psychologist or Counsellor? Are you looking to gain experience working in the mental health sector? You could make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children with mental health needs.
An inclusive and diverse Specialist School is looking for a Graduate Mental Health Assistant to help support and encourage children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs throughout the school day. The pupils have a variety of difficulties, including but not limited to anxiety, learning difficulties, trauma, ASD, ADHD, OCD, and behavioral challenges. The perfect candidate will therefore be proactive, understanding, and ready for a challenge!
The pupils in this Salisbury School have a range of additional needs. Though no two days are the same in a school like this, your general duties will involve supporting and shadowing the class teacher while providing 1:1 and small group support to the SEN students. You will help run exciting lessons to make the classroom a fun, engaging, and safe place. Behavioral management, personal care, and emotional support may also be required where necessary.
The role is full-time starting ASAP, but the school has said they can be flexible if the perfect candidate comes along. Graduates who have qualified in Psychology, Criminology, or Health & Social Care would be ideal for this position; a general understanding of welfare and mental health would be beneficial. This is also a unique opportunity to work alongside the Psychologist and Therapist based on-site at the school.
