The students have a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and display anti-social and challenging behaviours, often as a result of their emotional difficulties.

You will also work alongside Teachers, SENCOs and mental health professionals, to provide the students with the best education possible. This is a fantastic opportunity if you are considering a career in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Counselling, Probation, and Occupational Therapy, providing valuable experience for entering these fields.
