Job Description

Are you an aspiring Education Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, or mental health support worker?

Would you like to work in a school catering to children with special needs and emotional issues?

We are seeking Psychology Graduates or soon-to-be graduates interested in gaining practical experience with students with special needs and mental health challenges.

We are collaborating with a primary school in Aylesbury that seeks Teaching Assistants (TAs) to start from September 2025. The school is particularly interested in graduates in Psychology or Criminology aiming to become Education Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, or Occupational Therapists.

If you are passionate about working with children and those with additional needs, and are motivated to make a difference, this role could be ideal for you. While some experience in various settings working with children is beneficial, enthusiasm and dedication are equally important.

The pupils have diverse needs, including Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH), Autism, and behavioral difficulties. The school prefers candidates committed to at least 12 months, as consistency is crucial for the children’s development.

Interviews are currently being scheduled, so please apply promptly if interested.
