About this job

SEMH Teaching Assistant - 1:1 Support

Location: Middlesbrough Start: Immediate / after October half term Contract: Long-term temporary Hours: Full-time or part-time considered Pay: £95-£105 p/day, dependent on experience

Make a real difference to one pupil's school journey

Veritas Education is looking for a calm, resilient and relationship-focused SEMH Teaching Assistant to provide dedicated 1:1 support for a new pupil joining a welcoming mixed primary school in the Middlesbrough area.

The school places a strong emphasis on creating a secure, caring environment where children can develop their individual potential, confidence and love of learning.

This role would suit someone who can build trust, provide consistent boundaries and help a pupil successfully engage with school life and learning.

The role will involve:

  • Providing consistent 1:1 SEMH support
  • Building a positive and trusting relationship with the pupil
  • Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour
  • Encouraging engagement with classroom learning
  • Helping the pupil develop confidence, independence and routines
  • Working closely with teaching and pastoral staff

    • Who could be a good fit?

    Previous school experience is beneficial, but it isn't essential. We'd particularly like to hear from people with backgrounds in:

  • Behaviour or SEMH support
  • Youth work or mentoring
  • Children's residential care
  • Support work or social care
  • Sports coaching
  • Mental health or wellbeing support
  • Psychology, Criminology or Education graduates
  • Teaching Assistants looking to specialise in 1:1 support

    • What matters most is that you're patient, dependable, resilient and able to build positive relationships with children who may need additional emotional and behavioural support.

    Interested?

    If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can have a genuine impact on a young person's experience of education, apply today or contact Ed at Veritas Education for an informal conversation.

    No school experience? Don't rule yourself out. If you've supported, coached or mentored young people in another setting, your skills could transfer extremely well into this role.
