EBSA Teaching Assistant - One:One job summary
Do you have a warm heart, a calm presence, and a passion for helping children overcome barriers to learning? Are you motivated by the chance to make a real, lasting difference in a child’s life?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We are seeking an empathetic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a pupil with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, Dyslexia, and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). This is an incredibly rewarding role where you will become a trusted, consistent adult in a child’s day — someone who helps them feel safe, builds their confidence, and supports them to access learning at a pace that works for them.
What You’ll Be Doing
Providing compassionate, personalised 1:1 support
Helping the pupil manage anxiety and feel secure at school
Using dyslexia-friendly, multisensory strategies
Delivering simple, structured literacy and numeracy support
Building emotional resilience and self-regulation
Working closely with teachers, our SENCO and external professionals
Communicating supportively with parents and carers
Celebrating every step forward — no matter how small
We’d love to meet you if you are:
Calm, patient and nurturing
Experienced (or eager to learn) in supporting children with SEMH or anxiety
Able to build strong, trusting relationships with vulnerable pupils
Skilled at adapting tasks and instructions
A clear communicator who works well with parents and staff
Committed to inclusion, safeguarding and child-centred practice
GCSE/Level 2 English and maths (or willingness to work toward Functional Skills) is required.
Experience with EBSA, trauma-informed practice, or behaviour support frameworks is welcome but not essential.
Why Join Millbrook?
A supportive, caring team
A school that believes in the potential of every child
Ongoing training and professional development
The chance to make a transformative difference, every day
This is more than a job - it’s a chance to re write the narrative for a child.
