A wonderful specialist school in Northumberland is looking for a nurturing individual to join their school as an SEN/SEMH Assistant. This school is all about encouraging children and young people aged 11-18 to aim high! With your support, you will help these students achieve their dreams and goals whilst discovering what are passionate about.

This school supports children and young people from a range of backgrounds with a mixture of additional needs such as learning difficulties, disabilities, hearing impairments, behaviour disorders and communication disorders. It would be beneficial if you already have experience supporting individuals with these needs, however, this is not essential providing you have a strong passion for going above and beyond to help others.

During this role, you'll be assisting the classroom teacher to ensure each student's needs are met both academically but also from an SEMH perspective (social-emotional, mental health). There is lots of room for personal development as you'll be able to learn new things whilst helping others.

This is a fantastic role if you're truly inspired to make a lasting impact on children's and young people's lives.
