Our client who is an independent specialist day school providing high-quality, therapeutic and child-centred education to boys and girls from 6 to 17 years of age in Essex. The children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.

The Role

Teaching Assistants at their school know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same either. Children at this school require very special adults who can support children with complex and challenging behaviours.

TAs will understand that their children require lots of attention, just the right sort of communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a non-judgemental approach. They need to be resilient, persistent and solution focussed to meet the needs of our pupils and to do so they need to wear a lot of hats and be prepared to change them at a moment’s notice!
