Aspiring Psychologist - Mental Health Support - Reading
Are you looking to make a real difference in the lives of young children?
A friendly school in Reading is looking to add a Mental Health Assistant to their staff starting as soon as possible.
The Role:
The successful Mental Health Assistant will be assisting and supporting students who struggle with their behaviour. These students have trauma, anxiety, and depression and thus have a difficult time coping. They struggle especially with regulating and processing their emotions and managing their behaviour.
Day to Day:
The successful Behaviour and Mental Health Support Assistant will spend their day helping the students with their daily tasks. You will be supported by the class teacher but will also assist them with general class duties. This will include helping set up for lessons, clearing up afterwards, and helping manage classroom behaviour. This will be done on a 1:1 basis or in a small group setting. You will be making a significant difference in these children’s lives.
The Candidate:
The successful Health Support Assistant will be proactive and patient. You should also be adaptable and thrive in fast-paced environments. You must be determined, confident, and passionate about education and helping vulnerable children.
Previous experience working with children who present challenging behaviour would be ideal. However, attitude and personality are equally important as you would be a role model for these children.
Aspiring psychologists, therapists, and counsellors will benefit greatly from a role like this as you would be adding valuable experience to your skillset! Graduates are also encouraged to apply, as well as those with a background in sports, art, or drama.
