About the Academy
We’re working with an SEMH school in Chesterfield, an Ofsted-rated Good alternative provision in Derbyshire. The academy supports pupils aged 11–16 who have SEMH needs or have experienced barriers to mainstream education.
The site provides a structured, nurturing, and supportive environment where small class sizes (typically 8–12 pupils) and high staff-to-pupil ratios enable every learner to feel valued and supported. The academy places a strong emphasis on inclusion, positive relationships, and personal growth—helping pupils re-engage with education and prepare for future success.
The Role
As an SEMH Teaching Assistant, you’ll play a vital part in the Hasland team by:
* Supporting students both 1:1 and in small groups, helping them with learning, behaviour regulation, and social-emotional development.
* Using strategies such as de-escalation techniques and restorative approaches to help pupils build resilience, confidence, and self-regulation.
* Working alongside teachers, pastoral staff, and wider support services to create a consistent, safe, and engaging learning environment.
* Contributing to a culture of high expectations, respect, and mutual trust across the academy community.
What You’ll Need
* At least 3 months’ experience working with young people.
* A calm, empathetic, and resilient approach—especially when managing challenging behaviour.
* A genuine commitment to helping young people overcome barriers and achieve their potential.
What You’ll Get
* Equal pay to permanent staff in the same role after 13 weeks.
* DBS refund after 20 working days.
* Free CPD opportunities via The National College & Creative Education.
* Step Perks (24/7 GP access, retail discounts & more).
* £100 Amazon voucher through our Refer-a-Friend scheme (T&Cs apply).
* Ongoing support from a specialist SEN consultant with over 10 years’ experience in your local area.
Requirements
* Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willing to apply).
* Professional references covering the last 2 years.
* Right to work in the UK.
* Photo ID & proof of address.
* Up-to-date CV with a full 10-year work history.
