SEMH Teaching Assistant

We’re working with an independent specialist setting in Telford that provides SEN education within a calm, carefully tailored learning environment. The school supports children and young people aged 6 to 16 (and up to 19) with complex needs, including:

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

• Attachment and trauma backgrounds

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

• Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD)

What makes this setting different?

This is a small, nurturing school where relationships come first. Class sizes are intentionally small, giving staff the time and space to really understand each pupil. The focus is on re-engaging young people with education and helping them feel safe enough to learn again.

Therapeutic support is woven into everyday school life, not bolted on...
