Psychology Graduate - Maidenhead
Are you looking for an opportunity that will allow you to make a difference? Are you looking for a role that will set you up with amazing experience?
A fantastic role has recently become available at our highly regarded specialist school in Maidenhead.
This incredible setting looks after children who have been excluded from education or those who struggle to maintain a place in mainstream education. Many of these children also have co-existing issues such as social, emotional, and mental health needs, with some also dealing with barriers to their learning. These students are facing trauma and neglect which negatively impacts their learning.
The school needs a mental health assistant to support their students in their day-to-day activities.
The students that attend this school are primary and secondary ages. Each child has a personalised educational and health care plan and individual intervention plans designed to help them thrive. As a Mental Health Assistant, you will be part of ensuring that they are able to complete their academic work while also helping them navigate through their emotions. You will also play a part in helping them learn functional life skills, helping them be as independent as possible.
