The school is looking for a strong and proactive individual who can support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs within the classroom environment. While the role may involve some targeted support and occasional 1:1 intervention, the position is primarily classroom-based, supporting pupils across the school day.

**The Role Will Include:**
* Supporting pupils with SEMH needs within the classroom
* Assisting the class teacher with lesson delivery and classroom routines
* Helping pupils regulate emotions and remain engaged with learning
* Supporting behaviour management strategies positively and consistently
* Delivering small-group intervention sessions when required
* Encouraging pupil confidence, independence, and social development
* Working collaboratively with teaching staff, SENCOs, and parents

**The Ideal Candidate Will:**
* Have experience supporting children or young people with additional needs or behavioural challenges
* Be calm, patient, and resilient under pressure
* Have strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Be confident managing challenging behaviour positively
* Have a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable pupils
* Be adaptable and proactive within a classroom setting

**Why Work with Aspire People:**
* Competitive daily rates
* Long-term opportunities within supportive schools
* Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
* Access to CPD and safeguarding training
* Potential permanent opportunities available

This is an excellent opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of young learners while gaining valuable experience within a supportive primary school environment.

Aspire People Limited provides services as an Education Agency and an Education Employment Business. Aspire People is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expects every candidate to share this commitment. Placements are subject, to appropriate Child Protection screening, including checks with former employers and the Disclosure and Barring Checks
