Salary: £95 to £110
Start Date: April
Contract Type: Full-time, long-term to July
Are you a Psychology graduate looking to kick-start your career working with children and young people with SEN, SEMH, ASD, and ADHD? Do you want hands-on experience in a school setting before progressing into child psychology, speech and language therapy, or play therapy?
This is the perfect opportunity for aspiring Child Psychologists, Educational Psychologists, or Therapists to gain real-world experience working closely with students who require additional support.
Why This Role?
✅ Gain first-hand experience supporting students with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and other complex needs.
✅ Work 1:1 or in small groups to deliver tailored interventions and emotional regulation strategies.
✅ Collaborate with SENCOs, Educational Psychologists, and Therapists to develop targeted learning plans.
✅ Develop a strong understanding of trauma-informed practice, emotional regulation, and behaviour management.
✅ Build the foundation for a career in Child Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, Educational Psychology, or Mental Health Support.
Role Responsibilities:
Provide individual and small-group interventions to support emotional well-being and learning.
Use psychological principles to help students develop social skills, confidence, and self-regulation techniques.
Work closely with teachers, SENCOs, and therapists to implement personalised learning plans.
Assist with academic support, sensory integration, and communication strategies for students with additional needs.
Help manage challenging behaviours using de-escalation and therapeutic approaches.
Track student progress and provide insights on emotional and cognitive development.
Who We're Looking For:
✔ A Psychology (or related) graduate passionate about child development and mental health.
✔ Someone who wants real experience before pursuing Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Play Therapy, or Speech & Language Therapy.
✔ A compassionate and patient individual with a strong interest in SEN, mental health, and neurodiversity.
✔ Experience working with children or young people (voluntary or paid) is desirable but not essential.
✔ A proactive, resilient, and empathetic personality, keen to make a difference.
Why This is a Great Opportunity for Aspiring Child Psychologists:
Gain hands-on experience in an educational setting with SEN & mental health students.
Work closely with Educational Psychologists, Therapists, and SEN specialists.
Develop essential skills in behaviour management, emotional regulation, and communication.
Build practical knowledge that will set you apart in psychology-related postgraduate courses.
Be part of a supportive, specialist school environment where your contribution truly matters.
