Job Description
Are you a psychology graduate who would like to work with children with behavioural and mental health needs? We currently have a large number of schools across Haringey that are looking for confident and proactive graduates with a good understanding of child mental health to work as teaching assistants.
As a specialist teaching assistant you will be working with pupils on a 1 to 1 basis during the school day. Pupils will range in age from 5 – 11 years old and will have identified behaviour, SEMH, SEN including ASD needs that require support on a full-time basis. You will be working with pupils in the classroom, in specialist mentoring sessions and during some break times. Some pupils will display more challenging behaviour and the school will be able to train you in suitable interventions and approaches. As part of the child’s support team, you will work closely with the school's SENCO and senior management team, as well as outside agencies including therapists, healthcare professionals and CAMHS.
