Education jobs in Grã-Bretanha

Are you a recent Psychology or Criminology graduate looking to start your career as an Aspiring Psychologist? A Specialist School in Cheltenham is seeking a dedicated graduate to join their school-based support team, helping students with social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH). This is the ideal opportunity for an Aspiring Psychologist eager to gain hands‑on experience working directly with children and young people in an educational setting.

As an Aspiring Psychologist, you will be based within the school, supporting students aged 4–19 who face challenges such as trauma, attachment difficulties, and anxiety. Working closely with teachers, SEN staff, and pastoral leaders, you will:

• Provide 1:1 and small‑group support within classrooms to help students engage positively with their learning.
• Promote emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence using restorative and therapeutic techniques.
• Support teachers in managing challenging behaviour and identifying emotional or behavioural triggers.
• Collaborate with on‑site Psychologists, Therapists, and Education Specialists, gaining valuable professional experience in a school environment.

This Aspiring Psychologist role provides a unique opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of students while building a strong foundation for a future career in mental health or education.

To succeed as an Aspiring Psychologist, you should be:

• Empathetic, patient, and resilient, with a positive and proactive approach.
• Keen to learn from experienced teachers, SEN professionals, and therapists within the school.

Any previous experience supporting children or individuals with additional needs would be beneficial but not essential.

• Gain paid, practical experience as an Aspiring Psychologist in a specialist school setting.
• Work alongside experienced educational and mental health professionals.
• Develop essential skills for future roles in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, or Youth Work.
• Be part of a supportive, rewarding school community that values emotional as well as academic growth.
