The posting

At Lift Firth Park, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of the challenges they face. We're looking for a compassionate, resilient and skilled SEMH Teaching Assistant to join our onsite Alternative Provision, supporting pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

By providing consistency, encouragement and high-quality support, you'll help students develop the confidence, resilience and skills they need to re-engage with learning and achieve their potential.

You'll play a varied and rewarding role, including:

  • Lead targeted 1:1 and small group interventions to support emotional regulation, resilience, behaviour for learning and academic progress, particularly for pupils with SEND and SEMH needs.
  • Work closely with teachers to plan learning, assess progress, provide feedback and adapt support to meet individual student needs.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils, acting as a mentor and key adult to promote confidence, independence, wellbeing and positive behaviour.
  • Support the development of an inclusive Alternative Provision by creating safe, engaging learning environments where every student can succeed.
  • Work collaboratively with teachers, pastoral teams, SEND staff and families to support student progress and strengthen home-school partnerships.

What we're looking for

  • Experienced in supporting children or young people, particularly those with SEMH, SEND or additional learning needs.Confident leading learning, delivering interventions and covering lessons independently.
  • Skilled at building positive relationships and using restorative, trauma-informed approaches to support behaviour and wellbeing.
  • An excellent communicator who works collaboratively with colleagues, families and external professionals.
  • Organised, adaptable and able to remain calm, resilient and solution-focused in a fast-paced environment.
  • Committed to helping every child achieve their potential through high expectations, compassion and consistency.
  • Qualified to HLTA standard - minimum of Level 3 (or able to demonstrate equivalent experience), with strong literacy and numeracy skills.
  • For those candidates with demonstrable experience but that do not hold the relevant qualifications for HLTA you will be enrolled onto our Level 3 apprenticeship programme.
  • UK right to work, this role is not available for sponsorship.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
