Are you an education expert? We are currently seeking to represent several experienced SEMH teaching assistants for long term, temporary to permanent teaching assistant jobs in Loughton, Milton Keynes, (MK5 8HD). If you are a SEND (SEMH) specialist who is available from September 2025, we would be keen to speak with you.
If you are an experienced teaching assistant who has worked with pupils with SEND (SEMH) across either primary or secondary phases these roles may be for you. These roles are initially offered as temporary, full-time posts based at a brand new, alternative provision school. You will also have the opportunity to apply for the permanent upcoming vacancies after the first half term. This is a brand new 90 place school for pupils aged 7-19. Their children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.
This site is part of a national trust who are focussed on supporting children with complex behaviours and needs. Their pupils have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and they work closely with them to develop self-belief to become effective learners. If you are of a similar mindset and ethos, we would be very happy to discuss the role in more detail.
In order to be successfully shortlisted in any of your applications with us we will require the following:
A relevant UK based teaching assistant qualification (Minimum level 3).
Substantial experience working with pupils with SEMH or SEND within an education setting.
All required documents for safer recruitment processing including but not limited to a valid right to work proof.
Exceptional references.
Once shortlisted, a one-to-one interview will be scheduled with your dedicated consultant to discuss your experience and personal requirements. You will be provided with advice and guidance in relation to your requirements that respect your home and work life balance. You will work solely with your consultant throughout your registration journey and beyond, always having direct access to speak with them on a one-to-one basis.
