Contract: Temp-to-Perm opportunity
We are working with a SEMH secondary provision in Manchester for 11-16 year olds, all of whom have an Education, Health and Care Plan with Social, Emotional and Mental Health as their primary need. The school supports students with a range of challenges, including ADHD, autism, attachment difficulties, early trauma, emotional dysregulation, and anxiety about attending or engaging in school. The curriculum is adapted and creative, delivering both core academic qualifications (GCSE, BTEC) and vocational options, while putting emotional wellbeing and growth of personal skills at its heart.
We're looking for someone resilient, patient, and inspiring - someone who can support young people to overcome behavioural obstacles, reengage with learning, and flourish socially and emotionally. You'll work in a setting that values positive relationships, a clear structure, and strategies that promote independence, self-awareness, and a belief in themselves.
As an SEMH Teaching Assistant, you'll:
* Support students both one-to-one and in small groups, helping with emotional regulation, behaviour, and engagement in learning.
* Collaborate closely with teachers, pastoral teams and therapists to embed consistent approaches and ensure students feel safe and understood.
* Be a role model; building trust, helping students develop resilience, self-esteem, and social skills.
* Assist with delivery of the adapted curriculum, vocational or academic, ensuring students can access it based on their needs.
What you'll need:
* At least 3 months' experience working with young people (ideally with SEMH, autism, behavioural or emotional needs)
* Calm, empathetic temperament; ability to stay composed under pressure
* Strong communication skills and ability to build positive, consistent relationships
What you'll get in return:
* Equal pay to permanent staff after 13 weeks
* DBS refund after 20 working days
* Free CPD training via National College & Creative Education
* Step Perks (24/7 GP access, retail discounts & wellbeing support)
* £100 Amazon voucher with our Refer-a-Friend scheme
* Dedicated support from a local SEN specialist consultant with over 10 years' experience
Requirements:
* Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willing to apply)
* Professional references covering last 2 years.
* Right to work in the UK
* Photo ID & Proof of Address
* CV with a 10-year work history
