Emotional and Mental Health Support
Are you an individual who is passionate about supporting children with their mental health needs?
If so…
A really rewarding position has become available for an Emotional and Mental Health support worker to work in a school in Oxford. This is an excellent position to gain valuable experience whilst also making a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children. The role is to start in September 2025.
These students struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, and various other mood disorders. They need someone who can facilitate a positive and safe environment for them to learn and grow.
As a mental health assistant, you will directly be involved in helping children manage and cope with their emotions and mental health.
Your day-to-day duties will involve:
1. Supporting and shadowing the class teacher
2. Providing 1:1 support for the SEN students
3. Helping run exciting lessons to ensure the classroom is a fun and engaging place
4. Behavioural management as required
The role would suit someone who is resilient and confident in supporting young people with challenging mental health needs. This is a great opportunity for aspiring psychologists, social workers, therapists, and counsellors.
Experience working with vulnerable children is desirable but not essential. Those with a background in sports, art, or drama will also be at an advantage. Graduates in a relevant field will also be considered.
