Location: BS35 
Job Title: Specialist Learning Support Assistant (Psychology Graduate Opportunity)
Salary: From £14.25/hour
Contract: Monday-Friday, 8.30-15.30, term-time only

Are you a Psychology graduate looking to secure a meaningful role for September 2026, where you can gain hands-on experience supporting children and young people with complex needs?

We are working with a highly specialist SEND school supporting pupils aged 2–19 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD). Many pupils have autism, communication needs and complex sensory profiles, making this an ideal environment to deepen your understanding of behaviour, communication and child development in practice.

This setting takes a holistic, therapeutic approach, with a strong focus on communication, sensory regulation and relationship-based learning. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, working alongside experienced educators, therapists and support staff.

---

The Role (Starting September 2026)

This is a highly practical and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You will:

* Provide 1:1 and small group support, adapting your approach to meet highly individual needs
* Support pupils with communication and interaction, using tools such as PECS, Makaton, visual timetables and sensory-based strategies
* Assist with personal care and physical support where required, ensuring dignity and respect at all times
* Help deliver individualised, EHCP-led learning programmes, tailored to each pupil’s developmental stage

* Contribute to a calm, structured and engaging learning environment
* Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists (Speech & Language, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy) and families

What You’ll Gain From This Role

This is more than just classroom experience - it’s an opportunity to build real, transferable skills that are highly valued in psychology, education and therapy pathways:

* A deep understanding of complex needs, autism and sensory processing differences
* Practical experience in **alternative communication methods (AAC, Makaton, PECS)
* Insight into behaviour as communication, and how to respond therapeutically rather than reactively
* Experience supporting physical, emotional and cognitive development in a holistic way
* Confidence working within a multi-disciplinary team, mirroring real-world clinical and educational settings
* First-hand exposure to EHCP processes and personalised learning plans

You’ll also develop key soft skills such as resilience, adaptability, empathy and professional communication** — all essential for future careers in psychology and education.

Training & CPD – Our Partnership with The National College

We’re proud to offer access to a wide range of high-quality CPD through our partnership with The National College, allowing you to build your knowledge alongside your practical experience.

You’ll have the opportunity to complete courses such as:

*Certificate in the Role of a Learning Support Assistant
*Understanding **Autism and Neurodiversity in the Classroom
*Safeguarding Children (Level 1 & 2)**
*Behaviour Management and De-escalation Strategies
*SEND Code of Practice and EHCP Training**
*Supporting **Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
*Trauma-Informed Practice in Education

These courses will strengthen your CV and give you a strong theoretical foundation to complement your day-to-day experience in school.

Who This Would Suit

This opportunity is ideal for:

* Psychology graduates looking to build experience ahead of further study
* Individuals considering careers in **Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy or Teaching**
* Those with a genuine interest in SEND, behaviour and child development

You will be:

* Curious, reflective and eager to learn
* Patient, observant and able to build strong, trusting relationships
* Comfortable working in a **hands-on, practical environment

Why This Role?

Starting in September, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure a **full academic year placement**, allowing you to build consistent, in-depth experience that will significantly strengthen applications for:

* Postgraduate study (e.g. Educational Psychology)
* Teacher training (PGCE)
* Therapy-based careers
