Who We're Looking For:
• A Psychology graduate or someone studying Psychology
• Passionate about supporting children's wellbeing and development
• Patient, empathetic, and resilient
• Confident communicating with children and professionals
• Experience with young people through volunteering, mentoring, care, coaching, tutoring, or youth work is beneficial but not essential
