Trauma-Informed Teaching Assistant

Are you passionate about making a real difference in young people’s lives? Do you believe in the power of relationships, empathy, and emotional safety in education?

We’re looking for a compassionate, resilient, and proactive Teaching Assistant to join our trauma-informed team—where connection comes before correction, and every moment is an opportunity to support healing and growth.

• Build strong, trusting relationships with students who have experienced trauma, adversity, or SEMH challenges.
• Support emotional regulation, behaviour strategies, and learning—both in and out of the classroom.
• Use tools like sensory breaks, co-regulation, and restorative conversations to create a safe, nurturing environment.
• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and families to deliver consistent, relational support.
• Celebrate progress—no matter how small—and help students feel seen, heard, and valued.

• Experience working with children or young people (in education, care, or youth work is a plus).
• A calm, patient, and empathetic approach to behaviour and communication.
• A willingness to learn about trauma-informed practice and relational approaches.
• A team player who’s flexible, reflective, and ready to grow.

• Ongoing training in trauma-informed and therapeutic approaches.
• A supportive, values-driven team.
• The chance to make a lasting impact on students who need it most.
