SEMH Teaching Assistant - Mainstream Primary School - East Leeds
Engage Education are looking for a caring and dedicated SEMH Teaching Assistant in East Leeds.
This position will be based at a resource provision within a primary school in the East Leeds area. The provision offers a variety of enriching educational opportunities for pupils including academic, functional and vocational skills.
Many of the behaviours stem from children having additional needs such as Autism, or being looked after children whilst they’re estranged from their families which is causing dysregulation with their behaviour whilst they’re in education.
Having previous experience working with people with Autism or challenging behaviours - both children and adults - will be a strong advantage! Anyone from a care, support worker or youth worker is encouraged to apply.
We can provide training to any candidates who show a real passion and eagerness to learn, however, the ideal candidate must have good behaviour management.
You will connect directly with young people, guiding them to get the very best from their education.
