Salary: £89.35 - £100/day
Job Published: 18 March 2026

Just finished your degree and wondering what’s next?

This could be it.

We’re working with a supportive SEN secondary school in the Newton Aycliffe area, looking for a 1:1 SEMH Support Assistant. Think lovely staff, a genuinely welcoming team, and a school that’s big on support, not pressure.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Supporting a student 1:1 with social, emotional and mental health needs

  • Building trust, routines, and confidence

  • Helping them stay engaged in lessons (and celebrating the small wins along the way)

  • Working closely with teachers and pastoral staff

Why this role?
If you’ve studied Psychology or Criminology, you’ll already understand behaviour, triggers, and the importance of relationships. Now’s your chance to put that into practice.

Why Protocol Education?

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff

  • Free CPD, including Thrive training

  • A consultant who actually listens

  • Roles that fit you, not the other way round
