Job Description:

Are you a recent Psychology Graduate? Are you thinking of a career as a Psychologist or Counsellor and don’t know where to start? Are you interested in special education?

If the above applies to you then look no further…

A Specialist School in Salisbury are looking for a Psychology Graduate to work as a Learning Support Assistant and join their team as soon as possible. You will be working with children with a range of additional needs, including autism, speech and language needs, sensory processing disorders, physical disabilities and communication difficulties.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will learn about the cognitive, behavioural and emotional needs of each student and how to attend to these. You will help identify triggers and barriers to learning, as well as implementing your knowledge of psychological theory and apply it in the classroom. This may be in small groups or on a 1-2-1 basis. Above all else, you will help ensure every pupil feels safe and supported in school, and help make the classroom a fun and exciting place!

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Psychology Graduate looking to gain experience working with vulnerable children. You will have networking opportunities with Psychologists, Therapists, Counsellors and Speech & Language Teams, granting you first-hand experience that will set you aside from other graduates! This is also a great opportunity if you have considered a future in teaching.

The school are looking for someone who is bubbly and friendly with a can-do attitude and a great understanding of SEN. Any previous experience working with children would be beneficial – this could be in a sports setting, babysitting or even personal experience.
