SEN Teaching Assistant

£93 - £95 per day
Full-time
Kent

SEN Teaching Assistant (SEMH)

Academics are currently recruiting for a SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) school in Canterbury. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in a setting that prioritises support, structure, and positive outcomes for its students.

The Role: SEN Teaching Assistant

As a SEN Teaching Assistant, you will be supporting students who may present with challenging behaviour and require additional emotional and behavioural support. Your role will include:

* Providing 1:1 and small group support
* Building strong, trusting relationships with students
* Supporting emotional regulation and behaviour management
* Assisting in the delivery of engaging, tailored lessons
* Working closely with teaching staff and pastoral teams

The Students:

You will be working with children and young people with SEMH needs. Many students may have experienced barriers to education and benefit from consistent, patient, and understanding support.

Why Work in an SEMH School?

Working in an SEMH setting is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. You’ll:

* Have a direct impact on students’ confidence, behaviour, and future outcomes
* Develop strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
* Be part of a supportive and experienced team
* Gain valuable experience for careers in education, psychology, or youth work
* See real progress in students who thrive with the right support

What We’re Looking For:

* Experience working with children or young people (education, care, youth work, coaching, etc.)
* A calm, resilient and patient approach
* Confidence in managing challenging behaviour
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* A genuine passion for supporting students with additional needs

If you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same, and where you can genuinely change lives, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

To be a SEN Teaching Assistant: Apply now or get in touch to find out more.
