Job Title - Mental Health Support Assistant

Start Date - September 2024
Pay - £80 - £95
Your role will be to mainly support learners who have struggles with autism as a primary diagnosis, but also struggle with mental health needs. You will work at ensuring that they are able to access their education in the same ways that their mainstream peers can.
Your role as a mental health support assistant will also include providing general classroom support to the class teacher. These duties will include helping manage general classroom behaviour, help with lesson preparation, help keep the class tidy and listen to the students read and practice their phonics.
The successful mental health assistant will be calm and compassionate but also confident. You will take initiative well and be able to adapt your approach to match the needs of the children. Some children in the class will need extra support. Some may have learning difficulties and need help to stay on track with their tasks.
Experience working with children will be beneficial, but not essential. Personality is most important. If you are confident and bubbly then this school wants to hear from you!
Individuals who are working towards a career in psychology, education or any other related field are most welcome to apply. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience working with vulnerable children.
