Are you a graduate with a passion for supporting children and young people who have experienced trauma? Do you want to build a career in mental health, education, or therapy? This is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact as a Mental Health Assistant in Oxford School.

Our school specializes in supporting students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Pupils at our school have faced significant challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and a range of other mental health conditions.

What the role involves:
As a Mental Health Assistant in Oxford School, your key responsibility will be supporting students who face emotional and mental health challenges. You’ll work closely with teachers and mental health professionals to implement strategies that help students manage their mental health needs.

What it takes to work in this role:
Working with children with mental health needs requires patience, empathy, and a strong commitment to supporting their well-being. You must be prepared to work with young people who may struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related behaviors. Building trust and providing consistent, compassionate support will be key to helping them succeed. This role offers invaluable experience for those pursuing careers in psychology, social work, counselling, or mental health therapy.
