As an SEMH Teaching Assistant, you'll be supporting students aged 7-16 who have additional social, emotional, and mental health needs. You'll help create a nurturing, safe, and engaging learning environment, working closely with class teachers and other professionals to encourage positive behaviour and support academic and personal growth.

* Providing 1:1 and small group support to pupils with SEMH needs
