Are you looking to gain hands-on experience in a specialist setting? Are you a recent graduate dreaming of becoming a future Psychologist? Are you a caring and compassionate individual?
A unique and friendly Special School in Witney is looking for a Learning Support Assistant to help their pupils with special educational needs. The students at the school have a range of needs, including Autism, learning difficulties, speech and language needs, and mental health challenges. They therefore need a Learning Support Assistant who is understanding and patient, with a positive, go-to attitude!
As a Learning Support Assistant, you will be responsible for setting boundaries in the classroom and ensuring the pupils understand the value of education. You will help them understand their own emotional needs and ensure they feel safe and supported in school. You will help manage any challenging behaviour that arises as a result of the students' needs, as well as providing pastoral support. Most importantly, you will set an example for all pupils and act as a positive role model.
If you are a Graduate in Psychology, Criminology, or Sociology, this is the perfect opportunity for you to utilise your knowledge of atypical behaviour and development while gaining practical first-hand experience in the mental health sector. Previous experience working with children or adults with additional needs would be beneficial—this could be professional or personal experience.
The school has a significant focus on restorative practices, positive reinforcement, as well as Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs. This is therefore an ideal role for an aspiring Forensic, Clinical, or Educational Psychologist, as well as aspiring Youth and Criminal Justice Officers.
