The Provision

A well‑established alternative provision attached to a North London secondary school is recruiting a resilient SEN LSA to support KS3–KS4 pupils whose primary needs are ADHD and Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH). Class sizes are small (6–8 students) and the timetable blends core GCSE subjects with therapeutic and vocational sessions.

Your job: keep learning on track, regulate behaviour, and model the calm consistency these teenagers need.

Key Duties

• Deliver 1:1 and small‑group interventions that break work into manageable chunks
• Use clear routines, positive scripting and de‑escalation techniques to defuse flashpoints
• Support teachers in adapting resources, ensuring lessons stay accessible and purposeful
• Track academic and emotional progress; log incidents quickly and accurately
• Reinforce therapeutic strategies set by the SEMH lead, counsellor and external agencies
• Escort students to off‑site enrichment and work‑experience placements when required

We’re Looking For

• Proven experience with ADHD/SEMH in a secondary or PRU/alternative provision
• Confidence applying restorative practice, emotion‑coaching and Team‑Teach (or similar) approaches
• Genuine belief that disengaged learners can—and will—succeed with the right support
• Quick thinker who stays calm under pressure and can re‑establish order without confrontation

• Stability: one long‑term placement—no daily supply switch‑ups
• Competitive pay: up to £120/day, paid weekly with no hidden umbrella fees
• Support: a dedicated consultant on call for guidance, resources and well‑being check‑ins
