Social, emotional and mental health teaching assistants required
Zen Educate are currently interested in speaking with anyone that is looking to do vital work in supporting students with mental health difficulties in the education sector. Ideally I am looking for people that can support full time working Monday to Friday, 8:30 - 3:30 and term time only. I am keen to speak with people that have experience in working with those that come from trauma, children that perhaps are in foster care or have worked as a youth worker in centres.
We currently have schools located throughout Bristol that are looking for teaching assistants to work closely with their students, usually on a 1:1 basis, this can be with either primary or secondary ages. Since these schools are not in mainstream but rather specialist schools, class sizes are smaller and there is more staff on hand to support work together to make an inclusive and positive learning environment for students.
You will play a key role in showing these students that there are adults out there that can be counted on, that the support is there and they can achieve what they set their mind to.
What are we looking for;
- Experience in working with challenging behaviours and mental health difficulties, this can come from either school experience or alternative work such as having worked with adults.
- Someone that can be firm in expectations and boundaries, and offer a consistent approach when managing students and their learning. But we are equally looking for someone that has lots of empathy and understanding for what pupils may be dealing with or working through.
- Be flexible to the needs of the school and work with more than one student or other students if this is what is required.
- Resilient to challenging behaviours and show understanding that behaviours have route causes and changes happen on the long run rather than immediate.
- An enhanced DBS on the update service is required as part of your application.
In return we can offer you lots of training opportunities and the option of going permanent for the right placement and school. So if you are looking for a chance to make meaningful change to vulnerable children, talk with us today
