The role

This isn't a passive role. You'll be in the thick of it - working 1:1 and with small groups, supporting pupils with behavioural, emotional, and additional learning needs. You'll collaborate with teachers and SENCOs to deliver tailored strategies, and you'll draw directly on your Psychology background to help young people regulate emotions, build resilience, and genuinely engage with their learning.

No two days will look the same. That's the point.

Who we're looking for

Essential:

• A 2:1 or above in Psychology
• A genuine enthusiasm for working with children and young people
• Empathy, patience, and the confidence to take initiative in a busy school environment
