Are you experienced in supporting students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs? This could be the ideal role for you.

Academics are working with a unique and nurturing specialist school based in the beautiful village of Uphill near Weston-super-Mare. The school caters for learners aged 4 to 18 who experience barriers to learning, including SEMH, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and communication difficulties.

This is a school that truly celebrates its learners' achievements and wellbeing. The setting promotes self-confidence, belonging, and personal development within a learner-centred environment that goes beyond the National Curriculum.

About the role:

* Collaborate with teachers, therapists, and external professionals to create a safe, inclusive, and respectful school culture
* Position available ASAP, with a commitment through to the end of the academic year (July 2025).

We're looking for:

* Experience working with children or young people with SEMH needs (including youth work, PRU settings, or therapeutic support)
* Patience, empathy, and resilience
* Strong communication and teamwork skills
* A positive role model who can build trust and consistency
* Enhanced DBS (or willingness to apply for one)

We offer:

* A rewarding opportunity in a purpose-driven school environment, supporting students with SEMH and helping them thrive both academically and emotionally
* Weekly pay of £500
* Hours: 08:30 – 15:30
* Experience relevant to careers in psychology, counselling, therapy, and teaching
* Full support from the Academics Bristol team

If you’re a Learning Support Assistant with a passion for SEMH, or someone with relevant experience and the desire to make a difference — we want to hear from you.
