Job Description:
A Specialist School in the centre of Swindon is looking for a caring and motivated graduate to join their team in September, helping to support children with complex mental health difficulties and learning needs. The school caters for students with social, emotional and mental health needs, including anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, and behaviour challenges. They are seeking a patient, calm, understanding, and positive graduate who wants to make a difference.
Your role as a Learning Support Assistant will involve providing mental health and academic support to the students in class while also helping the class teacher and multi-therapy teams on-site. You will be instrumental in providing the students with a role model they can trust, helping encourage them to make positive choices. You will also assist them in understanding and regulating their emotions and boosting self-esteem.
By working with and mentoring the students, you will gain invaluable first-hand experience supporting vulnerable children with mental health challenges and adverse childhood experiences. This could be the crucial step you need to become a Psychologist, Counsellor, or Mental Health Practitioner in the future. You will also help transform the lives of young people who desperately need support.
This Mental Health Support role is an excellent opportunity for a recent university graduate interested in a long-term career in the mental health, education, or clinical sector. Previous experience working with children or vulnerable adults would be beneficial.
