Job description
Child Mental Health Support - Devizes
Would you like a role supporting the mental health of children? Do you want to help vulnerable young people through the school day? Do you want experience working with trauma, mental health and behavioural challenges?
A friendly Specialist School for children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) Needs is looking for a Support Assistant in Devizes to support their pupils through the school day. The students in this Specialist Mental Health School range from 5 to 18 and all have significant anxiety, trauma, OCD, emotional needs and behavioural challenges and therefore need a Child Mental Health Support Assistant who is caring, understanding and ready to support young people.
Graduates who have qualified in Psychology, Criminology, Health & Social Care or Counselling would be perfect for this role, along with candidates with relevant SEN experience. Passion and enthusiasm when working with vulnerable young people is essential!
This Mental Health School is a place where no two days are the same. However, your general duties will involve working in a small class of students, working both 1:1 and in small groups to boost the students’ academic and personal progress. You will help make the classroom and a fun, exciting and safe environment for all the pupils, and help spark a love of learning in each pupil.
This is an unmissable opportunity for anyone wanting to gain experience in the mental health sector before going on to become a Therapist, Counsellor or Psychologist. As a Child Mental Health Support Assistant, you will build practical experience supporting young people with significant needs and learn how to communicate with and support them, through the help of trained professionals. You will also gain an understanding of additional needs, cognition and development.
