A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Gloucester is seeking a dedicated Primary Mental Health and Learning Support Assistant to join their supportive team. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is committed to helping children overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential.

As a Primary Mental Health and Learning Support Assistant, you will support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, autism, and other additional learning needs. You will play a vital role in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported.

The Role

As a Primary Mental Health and Learning Support Assistant, you will:

* Provide 1:1 support for pupils who may struggle with emotional regulation, anxiety, or engagement in the classroom
* Deliver small-group interventions focused on social skills, confidence, resilience, and wellbeing
* Support children with additional needs throughout the school day
* Implement effective behaviour management strategies and de-escalation techniques
* Build positive and trusting relationships with pupils
* Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs, support staff, and external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for every child

What We're Looking For

* A patient, resilient, and empathetic individual
* Confidence supporting children with SEN, SEMH, or behavioural challenges
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* A genuine interest in mental health, psychology, education, or child development
* Previous experience working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals is desirable but not essential

What's on Offer?

* Valuable hands-on experience supporting children with additional needs
* A supportive and experienced SEN team
* Excellent career progression opportunities
* Competitive daily pay
* Ongoing support from a dedicated education consultant

Ideal Backgrounds (Not Essential)

* Psychology or related degree
* Youth work, care work, or support work experience
* Experience within PRUs, alternative provisions, or specialist settings
* Team Teach, MAPA, or CPI training

Requirements

* Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
* Right to work in the UK

If you're looking for a rewarding opportunity in Gloucester and want to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today by submitting your CV for this exciting Mental Health & Learning Support Assistant – Primary School opportunity in Gloucester.
