Overview
Psychology Graduate - Nurture Class Support
Alternative Provision | Blackpool
Are you a recent Psychology Graduate looking to bridge the gap between theory and practice? This is an exceptional opportunity to gain high-level, hands-on experience within a specialist Alternative Provision (AP) in Blackpool. We are looking for a motivated individual to join our dedicated team, supporting a small nurture class of up to five children. Our Alternative Provision focuses on pupils who require a different approach to education, making this role ideal for someone with a deep interest in child development, emotional regulation, and behavioural science.
Responsibilities
* Work closely with a specialist lead to deliver a primary-model curriculum that prioritises emotional safety alongside academic progress.
* Implement trauma-informed and autism-aware strategies to help pupils navigate their day in a non-traditional learning environment.
* Support specific EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) targets and help maintain a calm, structured, and predictable space.
* Build strong, trusting relationships and guide pupils through moments of dysregulation using positive reinforcement and relational approaches.
* Provide consistent support to help pupils re-engage with education.
Ideal Candidate
* Degree holder in Psychology or a closely related social science field with a genuine interest in SEMH, ASC, and the psychological barriers to learning.
* Naturally calm, patient, and emotionally resilient, with the ability to remain grounded in challenging situations.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate with teachers, therapists, and families to ensure the best outcomes for pupils.
* A suitable stepping stone for aspiring Educational Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, or specialist practitioners seeking meaningful, real-world experience.
Why Apply?
This is more than just a support role; it is a chance to apply your psychological understanding in a setting that values therapeutic intervention as much as academic achievement. You will receive ongoing professional development and the opportunity to work alongside experienced practitioners in the field of alternative education.
