South East London | Full-Time | £120-£130 per day
We are currently recruiting for an experienced 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant / Behaviour Mentor to support a Year 11 male student within an Alternative Provision setting in South East London.
The student's primary need is SEMH, alongside difficulties with attention and concentration, working memory, receptive language, emotional regulation and social interaction.
We are looking for someone who is calm, confident and experienced in supporting secondary-aged students with additional needs and challenging behaviour.
The ideal candidate will:
- Have experience supporting students with SEMH
- Be confident managing challenging behaviour and dysregulation
- Have strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
- Be patient, calm and consistent in their approach
- Be able to build trust and develop positive relationships with young people
- Understand how to support students with attention, working memory and communication difficulties
- Be confident breaking learning into manageable steps and providing appropriate prompts
- Support emotional regulation and help prevent situations from escalating
- Be able to maintain clear boundaries without creating power struggles
- Encourage independence rather than creating reliance on 1:1 support
- Have a relational and respectful approach
This role would suit an experienced SEN TA, SEMH Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Learning Mentor or Youth Worker who is confident working with teenagers who may present with challenging behaviour.
Experience in Alternative Provision, SEMH schools, specialist settings or similar environments would be highly desirable.
