Teaching Assistant - SEMH Needs
Location: Stockport
Prospero Teaching is working with a Special Needs School in Stockport that deals with students with complex needs, behavioral challenges, and mental health issues.
The school caters for pupils who have an educational plan to receive their education in a specialist provision due to their learning needs. The school takes pupils who have been identified as needing a setting other than mainstream education.
The pupils are aged 11-16 years old (KS3/4) and all have EHCP plans and additional needs. The pupils have usually experienced some form of trauma, neglect, or chaotic home life.
Your role is to build a connection with the young people and act as a mentor and role model. Due to the barriers the pupils face in the classroom, the role will involve forging strong relationships with them.
You will use various mentoring skills (similar to those used in sports, drama, and counseling) to help individuals engage with the school. You will support pupils both in and out of the classroom on a more vocational basis.
The position is open to all experienced candidates and those who have worked in an SEN School previously, along with a strong background in mentoring children and young adults. Depending on performance, the school may consider extending the contract or offering a permanent position.
