Graduate Psychology Teaching Assistant

Bradford Schools | Full-Time | Term-Time Only | October 2026 Start | Earn up to £560 Per Week

Your Psychology Degree. Real Classrooms. Real Impact.

You've spent years studying human behaviour, development, and the mind. Now it's time to put that knowledge to work where it matters most, supporting young people who need encouragement, guidance, and positive role models.

We're looking for Psychology graduates who are ready to step into schools across Bradford and make a genuine difference, from the youngest pupils in EYFS right through to post-16 learners navigating some of the most formative years of their lives.

This is an ideal opportunity for graduates considering careers in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Teaching, Counselling, CAMHS, Youth Work, or wider mental health and wellbeing services.

What's on Offer?

• Earn up to £560 per week
• Full-time, term-time only role, Monday to Friday
• October 2026 start
• Long-term positions available across Bradford schools
• Hands-on experience across a wide age range in real educational environments
• Comprehensive training, mentoring, and ongoing support
• Excellent preparation for careers in education, psychology, and therapeutic services
• Opportunities to develop specialist SEND, SEMH, and behaviour support skills

The Role

This isn't a passive role. You'll be fully involved in school life, working one-to-one and with small groups to support pupils with behavioural, emotional, social, and additional learning needs.

Working alongside teachers, SENCOs, and pastoral teams, you'll help deliver tailored interventions and support strategies while drawing directly upon your Psychology knowledge to help young people regulate emotions, build resilience, develop confidence, and engage positively with their learning.

No two days are the same, making this a highly rewarding role for graduates looking to gain meaningful experience before progressing into further training or postgraduate study.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide one-to-one and small-group support for pupils
• Support students with social, emotional, and mental health needs
• Assist pupils with behavioural and learning challenges
• Promote positive behaviour, engagement, and attendance
• Help students develop emotional regulation and coping strategies

  Who We're Looking For

  Essential

  • A 2:1 degree or above in Psychology
  • A genuine enthusiasm for working with children and young people
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Empathy, patience, and resilience
  • Confidence to take initiative in a busy school environment
  • Right to work in the UK

  Desirable

  • Experience working with children or young people
  • Experience supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
  • TeamTeach qualification (current or lapsed considered)
  • Mentoring, coaching, tutoring, care, youth work, or behavioural support experience
  • Knowledge of SEMH, ADHD, autism, or trauma-informed practice

  Why This Role?

  For the right graduate, this is more than a job. It's a launchpad into a rewarding long-term career.

  Whether you're considering:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Teaching
  • Counselling
  • CAMHS
  • SEN Education
  • Youth Work
  • Social Work
  • Mental Health and Wellbeing Services

  the experience you'll gain here is the kind that no university textbook can replicate.
