Are you an experienced, compassionate and resilient Teaching Assistant seeking a rewarding new challenge? We are looking for a dedicated Full-Time SEMH Teaching Assistant to join a trauma-informed primary school in Salisbury, where emotional wellbeing, safety and belonging are at the heart of everything they do.
Our school supports children with a range of social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, often linked to early-life trauma or adverse experiences. We are committed to building trusting relationships that help children regulate emotions, develop confidence and re-engage positively with their learning.
The Role
As an SEMH Teaching Assistant, you will:
• Work closely with teachers and the inclusion team to deliver individualised support for pupils with SEMH needs.
• Implement personalised learning and behaviour plans underpinned by trauma-informed practice.
• Build strong, trusting relationships that foster emotional security and self-regulation.
• Support pupils both in class and through targeted interventions, helping them develop resilience, communication skills and self-belief.
• Model calmness, empathy and consistency, particularly during moments of emotional or behavioural challenge.
• Collaborate effectively with colleagues, families and external professionals to provide holistic support.
This full-time, term-time position is ideal for someone who believes that every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background or previous experiences.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
• Has prior experience supporting children with SEMH or trauma-related needs, ideally within a primary school environment.
• Understands trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches, or is enthusiastic about developing this expertise further.
• Possesses strong interpersonal, communication and de-escalation skills.
• Is emotionally intelligent, reflective, and able to remain calm under pressure.
• Brings energy, patience and positivity to every situation.
Why Join Us?
In return, you will benefit from:
• A supportive and forward-thinking staff team that values collaboration and professional growth.
• Ongoing training in trauma-informed and therapeutic practices.
• The opportunity to make a genuine and lasting difference in the lives of young people every day.
If you are passionate about helping children overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential, we would love to hear from you.
