We’re working with a supportive mainstream primary school in Nailsea who are looking to appoint a Psychology graduate to join them as a Learning Support Assistant.
This role would suit someone considering a future career in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Teaching or SEN, and looking to gain hands-on experience working with children in a school setting.
You’ll be supporting pupils across the school, including children with additional needs such as ASD, ADHD and SEMH needs. Some 1:1 support may be required.
The school has a strong SEN team and provides guidance and structure, making it a great setting for a graduate looking to build practical experience.
The role will involve:
* Supporting pupils in class to access learning
* Delivering small group interventions
* Providing 1:1 support where required
* Assisting with behaviour regulation and emotional support
* Working closely with teachers and the SENCo
The school is looking for someone who:
* Holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology (or related subject)
* Is confident, calm and patient
* Has an interest in child development and additional needs
* Can build positive relationships with pupils and staff
* Is reliable and committed
Any experience working with children (schools, tutoring, coaching, care or youth work) would be advantageous, though not essential.
This is a great opportunity for a graduate looking to gain meaningful school-based experience in a well-run and welcoming primary school.
