Job Description
SEN Teaching Assistant - Performing Arts SEMH College
Location: Islington | Full-Time | September 2025 Start
This isn't your standard classroom. And this isn't your standard support role.
Remedy Education is working with a one-of-a-kind SEMH college in Islington that specialises in performing arts. The young people here are aged 16-19, and while they've each faced their own set of challenges - emotionally, socially, and academically - they've also chosen a creative path. And that's where you come in.
We're looking for someone who can provide consistent, calm support to students who might be difficult to reach but are far from impossible to inspire. You don't need to be a dancer, an actor, or a musician - though creativity helps - but you do need to understand how powerful it is when a young person finally finds a way to express themselves.
This college supports students with social, emotional and mental health needs, often alongside autism, ADHD or behavioural issues. Some will need help regulating in the mornings. Others might shut down when lessons get tough. Many will thrive under routine, fairness and genuine encouragement. If you're the kind of person who doesn't flinch at a tough conversation - but knows when to step back and let someone figure things out - you'll fit in here.
The role includes:
Supporting students in and out of practical sessions, including drama, movement and music
Helping young adults manage their emotions, behaviour and routines
Encouraging independence, professionalism, and self-belief
Working closely with tutors, therapists, and creative practitioners
Contributing to a college culture that's inclusive, expressive and realWhat you'll need:
Experience working with young people with SEMH, ideally post-16
Confidence and maturity - you'll be seen as a role model as much as a support
A good understanding of trauma-informed practice or behaviour support
A DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply through Remedy)
Patience, humour, and the ability to bounce back when days don't go to planThis is a college where students come alive on stage - but might struggle with a group task. Where building trust matters more than sticking to a lesson plan. And where staff genuinely believe that creativity can be a turning point, not a side project.
If that sounds like somewhere you'd like to work, we want to hear from you.
To apply, send your CV to Remedy Education or call (phone number removed) for more information. Interviews will be arranged ahead of September.
Please note: You must have the right to work in the UK and be committed to safeguarding and supporting vulnerable young people. All roles are subject to enhanced DBS and reference checksBefore You Apply
