Psychology Graduate – SEN Teaching Assistant
Are you a Psychology graduate eager to make a real impact while gaining hands-on experience in education and mental health?
A forward-thinking and inclusive secondary school in Brentford, West London, is looking for a bright, empathetic Psychology graduate to join their SEN support team as a Teaching Assistant. This is a fantastic stepping stone if you're considering a career in Educational or Clinical Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or SEN Teaching.
You’ll be working closely with students who have EHCPs and a range of additional needs, including Autism (ASD), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges, Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and communication barriers. Your role will involve providing tailored 1:1 and small-group support—helping students thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Providing targeted, compassionate support to students with special educational needs
* Supporting pupils with Autism and communication difficulties to build confidence and independence
* Managing challenging behaviour using evidence-based strategies
* Collaborating with SENCOs, therapists, and teaching staff to deliver a whole-child approach
* Gaining hands-on experience with EHCPs, adaptive teaching, and early intervention strategies
What’s In It for You?
* Earn up to £650 per week while building invaluable experience in education and child development
* Work in a supportive, diverse, and inclusive environment committed to student wellbeing
* Gain direct exposure to therapeutic techniques used in school-based mental health support
* Strengthen your application for postgraduate psychology, teaching, or therapy training
* Join a school that’s truly making a difference—with a strong SEN team and an inclusive ethos
If you're serious about a career in mental health, child development, or special education, this role will give you the grounding you need.
