Sporty SEMH Teaching Assistant Wanted – Make a Real Impact in Bilston
Location: Bilston
Full-Time
£85–£100 per day
Are you the kind of individual who thrives on action, teamwork, and making a difference? Balfor Education is on the lookout for a confident, sporty SEMH Teaching Assistant to join an incredible special needs community school in Bilston. If you’ve got the energy to keep up, the heart to care, and the mindset to motivate – this role is for you.
About the Role:
This isn’t your typical TA job. You’ll be right there in the action – supporting pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, helping them stay focused, stay active, and grow stronger both mentally and emotionally. Whether it’s getting stuck into lessons or using physical activity to help regulate emotions and energy, your role is key.
You’ll be:
* Working closely with teachers to prep sessions and energize the learning environment
* Delivering 1:1 and small group support, especially through movement-based strategies
* Building strong relationships with students through sports, structure, and trust
* Using your physical presence and calm mindset to de-escalate and guide
What You Bring:
* A natural team player with patience, empathy, and a coach’s mentality
* Experience working with young people who need structure, encouragement, and a bit of toughness wrapped in kindness
* A background in SEMH, youth work, sports coaching, or behaviour mentoring
* Level 1 Safeguarding & Enhanced DBS (or ready to get them)
* Bonus if you’ve worked with PECS/Makaton – but we can train you up too
Must-Haves:
* A passion for helping young people overcome challenges
* Recent, relevant references
* Valid photo ID & DBS (or willingness to apply)
