SEMH needs are a type of special educational need where a child communicates through behaviour in response to unmet social, emotional or mental health needs.
Children with SEMH needs often have difficulties in managing their emotions or their behaviour. They can show inappropriate responses to their emotions. They can feel scared, anxious and misunderstood. Teaching assistants will need patience, understanding, and confidence with any behaviour that may be challenging. Teaching Assistant roles will require you to mostly 1:1 with a child, which includes a shared lunchtime.
Being a Teaching Assistant is helping those who need it most, whatever the needs of the children are.
This amazing school has asked us for dedicated Teaching Assistants passionate about making a difference and becoming part of an amazing team
