Psychology Graduate aspiring to be a SEN Teaching Assistant, leading to becoming an Education or Clinical Psychologist
You will work with students that will test your skill and patience to its absolute limit. You will see some behaviour that might be shocking, but it is a normal part of the role. You will be working with students aged 3-18 with a range of SEN and SEMH in this provision. Context is key in understanding and supporting these students.
Would working 1:1 with students with Mild Learning Difficulties and Speech and Language Difficulties help further your career?
Would you like to increase your experience working with SEN pupils of varying abilities and behaviours? All pupils will have Social, Emotional, and Mental Health issues, and each will have an EHCP.
Having placed Psychology Graduates into SEN Teaching Assistant roles for the past 5 years, it is clear that this is a fantastic way to gain practical experience needed to become an Occupational Therapist or Education Psychologist. It also provides a valuable reference to help you secure a place in an MSc or research project, giving you an edge over other Psychology Graduates.
