We have an exciting opportunity for a SEMH Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive primary school in Newham, East London, starting ASAP.
As a SEMH Teaching Assistant, you will play a crucial role in helping primary students with emotional and behavioural challenges to thrive both academically and socially.

Your role will involve adapting the curriculum to meet the specific needs of these children, working closely with the class teacher and SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to ensure students can fully participate in lessons and activities.
In addition to academic support, you will assist with behaviour management, helping students develop coping strategies and positive behaviours. You will contribute to creating a calm, nurturing classroom environment where students feel confident and supported. Your role will also involve promoting social skills and helping students build relationships with their peers.
You will be an integral part of a dedicated team, working collaboratively to ensure that each childs development is carefully monitored and supported. Regular feedback and discussions with the SENCO and other staff will help you track student progress and tailor your approach accordingly.
To thrive in this SEMH Teaching Assistant role, you should have a passion for working with primary-aged students with emotional and behavioural needs. Patience, empathy, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are essential.
