Role OverviewAre you a specialist in supporting vulnerable young people with complex needs? We are looking for a 1:1 Pastoral Teaching Assistant to work directly with a student in a Blackpool secondary school. This student has a bespoke EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) focused on Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) support.
This is a Temp-to-Perm opportunity. We want to meet you for a 1-2 day paid trial to ensure the chemistry is right between you and the student before moving toward a permanent school contract.
Key Responsibilities*Targeted 1:1 Support: Implement the specific provisions outlined in the student’s EHCP, focusing on emotional regulation and social integration.

*Pastoral Mentoring: Act as the student’s primary "trusted adult," providing a consistent safe space and helping them navigate the triggers of a busy secondary environment.

*Academic Scaffolding: Adapt classroom tasks to suit the student’s learning style, ensuring they remain engaged and achieve their individual targets.

*Crisis De-escalation: Use trauma-informed techniques (such as Team Teach or PACE) to manage periods of high anxiety or emotional dysregulation.

*Progress Tracking: Maintain detailed records of the student’s daily progress to assist the SENCO and external agencies during EHCP annual reviews.

The Ideal Candidate*Experience: Proven track record of working 1:1 with students with SEMH, ADHD, or Autism (ASD).

*Mindset: You possess the "Blackpool Grit"-you are resilient, empathetic, and you don’t take challenging behaviour personally.

*Expertise: You understand that "behaviour is communication" and can look past the surface to support the child underneath.

*Commitment: Because 1:1 work relies on stability, we are looking for someone ready to commit long-term to this student’s journey.

Why Apply?*High Daily Rates: Earn a competitive wage with the security of a permanent contract path.

*Trial Period: Benefit from a "no-pressure" trial day to ensure the school and student are the right fit for your skills.

*Professional Impact: You will be the defining factor in whether a vulnerable student succeeds in mainstream education.

How to ApplyIf you are a resilient mentor ready to change the trajectory of a young person’s life, please submit your CV today. Trial days are being arranged for the coming week.
