SEMH Teaching Assistant

Summary
Sense Education is hiring for a specialist PRU setting in Whitehaven. This long-term SEMH Teaching Assistant role offers a meaningful way to support children and young people who have experienced significant adversity, helping them regulate their emotions, build trust, and re-engage with school life.

It’s a unique opportunity to apply therapeutic principles in a classroom context, working side-by-side with skilled educators to support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. If you’re looking for a new way to make a difference — one where your calm, consistent presence truly matters — this role could be the perfect fit.

The Role

Supporting pupils aged 11–16 who face challenges related to trauma, attachment, and emotional regulation
Providing stability and relational safety for students with complex behaviour and SEMH needs
Helping deliver personalised learning strategies and behaviour plans
Encouraging self-regulation and emotional growth through compassionate, consistent support
Working collaboratively with teachers, SEND staff, and pastoral teams to provide holistic care
Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 3.30pm — no shifts, no lone working, and no weekend hours

The Ideal Person

Minimum qualifications required: A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification or a background in education or care (NVQ, CACHE, Degree, or equivalent)
A qualified therapist, counsellor, or trauma-informed professional
Or someone from a youth work, care, social services or mental health background ready for a career change
Knowledgeable about the effects of trauma on behaviour and learning
Empathetic, patient, and skilled in de-escalation and restorative approaches
A confident communicator and team player

The School
This is a setting with a deep commitment to SEMH support. Staff here recognise the impact of early trauma and work proactively to help pupils rebuild confidence and connection. The environment is structured but nurturing, with a strong multi-agency approach that values every team member’s contribution to student wellbeing.
