Job description

Are you a graduate looking to gain meaningful, hands-on experience working with children and young people?

We are currently working with a large special educational needs (SEN) school in Hackney that is looking to recruit Psychology Graduates or any Graduates with relevant degrees for full-time, long-term positions as SEN Teaching Assistants.

This is an excellent opportunity for graduates who are considering future careers in psychology, educational psychology, child development, education, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, social work or related fields.

The school has a strong track record of supporting graduates, providing them with valuable practical experience in a specialist educational environment. In the role, you will have the opportunity to work closely with children and young people with complex learning needs, develop your understanding of SEN, and build practical skills in communication, behaviour support and child development.

Alongside making a meaningful contribution to the lives of pupils, the experience can provide valuable insight into working within a multidisciplinary educational setting and help you develop skills that are highly relevant to future careers in psychology and other child-focused professions.

This role could be particularly well suited to graduates who are:

• Interested in gaining practical experience and professional training.
• Passionate about supporting children and young people.
• Interested in child development, psychology or SEN.
• Looking to develop experience in a professional educational environment.
• Keen to make a positive and meaningful contribution while building transferable skills.

If you are a graduate looking for a rewarding opportunity to gain substantial experience working with children and young people with additional needs, this could be an excellent next step.

TimePlan Education are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expect all staff to show this commitment.

The successful candidate will be required to complete Disclosure and Barring Service declarations in line with Section 115 of the Police Act 1997.

You will also be required to provide professional references covering at least the last 5 years.
