Aspiring Psychologist - Mental Health Assistant
Location: Oxford
Pay: 90 - 110 per day
If you are caring and compassionate, interested in education, and looking to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children, then this is the job for you!
An inclusive and inspiring school in Oxford is looking for a Mental Health Assistant to join their team as soon as possible for a long term role.
The students in this school suffer from a range of complex needs, stemming from trauma, anxiety and depression. These children are therefore struggling with learning difficulties, behavioural difficulties and emotional challenges. They will need an individual who is resilient, confident and ready to take on a new challenge.
The successful Mental Health Assistant will be directly involved in making a difference in the lives of these children. You will have the opportunity to support them on either a 1:1 basis or in a small group setting. Your daily duties will involve supporting the class teacher with general classroom duties and helping manage classroom behaviour.
As a successful Mental Health Assistant, you will need to be confident, positive and proactive. These qualities will ensure you have success in your career as an aspiring Psychologist. The students at this school will often have a tailored education plan and you will need to adapt to change, as each child has different needs.
Experience working with children who present with mental health needs is desirable but not essential. What is important is your can‑do attitude, as you will be a support system and role model for these children.
This is a wonderful and rewarding opportunity for those individuals looking to gain experience in the education sector whilst also making a difference.
Those aspiring to be psychologists, counsellors or therapists are especially encouraged to apply. Those with a background in art, drama or sports are also welcome as well as graduates!
