We are currently seeking full-time/permanent staff for one of our challenging yet fantastic Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) Schools located in Hailsham.

This reputable SEMH Provision caters for primary and secondary pupils who are unable to gel into mainstream education due to mental health needs stemming from child trauma and PTSD.

Day to day:

1. You will assist pupils in a range of exciting lessons and activities, tailored to their individual needs to maximise engagement.
2. Promote positive behaviour, using positive reinforcement to build self-esteem and confidence.
3. Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils while maintaining professional boundaries.
4. Help pupils overcome mental health and trauma by creating a fun safe space where they can learn, play, and get away from their life struggles!

Teaching Personnel are offering you:

1. Extremely competitive entry salary; £93 - £100 per day!
2. Full-time/Permanent work: In an environment which champions personal development and career progression.
3. A dedicated Consultant: Who has a great relationship with the provision and a proven track record in successfully placing people into permanent roles within the School.
