Aspiring Psychologist - Mental Health Assistant

Aspiring Psychologist - Mental Health Assistant

Location: Reading

Pay: £90 - 110 per day

If you are caring and compassionate, interested in education, and looking to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children, then this is the job for you!

An inclusive and inspiring school in Reading are looking for a Mental Health Assistant to join their team in September for a long term role.

The students in this school suffer from a range of complex needs. These stem from trauma, anxiety and depression. These children are therefore struggling with learning difficulties, behavioural difficulties and emotional challenges. These students will need an individual who is not only resilient, but also confident and ready to take on a new challenge.

The successful Mental Health Assistant will be directly involved in making a difference in the lives of these children! You will have the opportunity to support these children on either a 1:1 basis or in a small group setting. Your daily duties will involve supporting the class teacher with general classroom duties and helping manage classroom behaviour.

As a successful Mental Health Assistant, you will need to be confident, positive and proactive. All qualities that will ensure you have success in your career as an aspiring Psychologist! The students at this school will often have a tailored education plan and you will thus need to be able to adapt to change, as each child has different needs.

Experience working with children who present with mental health needs is desirable but not essential. What is important is your can-do attitude as you will be a support system and role model for these children!

This is a wonderful and rewarding opportunity for those individuals looking to gain experience in the education sector whilst also making a difference.

Those aspiring to be psychologists, counsellors or therapists are especially encouraged to apply. Those with a background in art, drama or sports are also welcome as well as graduates!
