Teaching Assistant SEMH - Slough

Looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, every single day?

We’re working with a welcoming primary school in Slough that’s on the lookout for a calm, caring SEMH Teaching Assistant. This isn’t a sit-back kind of role. It’s hands-on, heart-led, and incredibly rewarding.

You’ll be supporting pupils who need a little extra help with their social, emotional and mental health. Think relationship-building, steady encouragement, and being that consistent adult they can rely on.

What your day might look like

• Supporting pupils 1:1 or in small groups with SEMH needs
• Helping children regulate emotions and feel safe in the classroom
• Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO
• Creating a positive, structured environment where pupils can thrive
• Celebrating the small wins, because they matter (a lot)

What the school is hoping for

• Experience working with children with SEMH, SEND, or behavioural needs
• A calm, patient approach, even on the tricky days
• Someone who builds trust naturally and leads with kindness
• Confidence in managing behaviour positively and consistently
• A genuine passion for helping children feel understood and supported

Why this role stands out

• Supportive leadership team who’ve got your back
• Training opportunities to build your SEMH skillset
• A school that truly values its support staff, you won’t feel like “just a TA” here
• A chance to be part of something bigger, helping children re-engage with learning and life
