Summary

Bridge the Gap Between Theory and Practice

Graduate Teaching Assistant | Specialist SEN Trust | Cranleigh

Are you a Psychology graduate looking to transform your academic knowledge into clinical, hands-on experience?

If you have already cut your teeth as a Teaching Assistant and are ready to dive deeper into Educational Psychology, ABA, or Speech and Language Therapy, this is the professional environment you've been looking for. Randstad is recruiting for a prestigious specialist trust in Cranleigh that serves as a center of excellence for students with complex learning needs and neurodivergent profiles.

The Role: Beyond the Classroom

This is a full-time immersive role designed for someone who understands the "why" behind behaviour. You won't just be assisting with lessons; you will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary team.

  • Behavioural Support: Implement bespoke learning plans and support-focused interventions.

  • Observation & Analysis: Use your psychological background to understand student triggers and celebrate their developmental milestones.

  • Collaborative Environment: Work alongside therapists and specialist educators in a setting that values data-driven, empathetic support.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a high-calibre graduate who is serious about a career in the care or education sectors.

  • Academic Background: A degree in Psychology (or a related Social Science) is highly desirable.

  • Proven Experience: You've already spent time in a classroom or support setting and understand the nuances of SEN.

  • Analytical & Empathetic: You can balance a professional, objective approach with the genuine warmth required to build rapport with vulnerable young people.

  • Resilient & Driven: You view challenges as "case studies" in patience and are eager to grow your professional toolkit.

Why this Trust?

Located in the heart of Cranleigh, this specialist setting offers more than just a job-it offers a career trajectory. For a graduate, the "Prestigious Trust" status provides a significant boost to future postgraduate applications (DClinPsy/Educational Psychology).
