A well-respected specialist school near Woking is looking for a Mental Health Teaching Assistant to support children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The students range between 7 and 16 years old, and face a range of SEMH needs, and challenges including trauma, anxiety, OCD, and behavioural issues.

Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes.
