Aspiring Psychologist – Learning Support Assistant, Staines

Psychology graduate looking to gain valuable experience working with vulnerable young people before pursuing a career in Criminal Justice, Youth Justice, Social Work, or Mental Health Support? This is a great role for you, as you have aspirations in clinical psychology and occupational therapy, too.
Milk Education is recruiting for a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to work in a specialist school supporting students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, autism, and challenging behaviour. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in behaviour intervention, de-escalation techniques, and trauma-informed approaches—all of which are essential skills for a future in criminal justice or social care.
About the Role:
As an LSA, you will work with students aged 4-16 who struggle with emotional regulation, social skills, and engagement in learning. Many of these students have faced significant trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and difficulties with authority figures. Your role will focus on building trust, supporting emotional well-being, and promoting positive behaviour, all while helping students develop the skills they need to reintegrate into education and society.
You will be working in a specialist primary and secondary school for children who have an EHCP for their Autism, associated conditions, speech and language and communication challenges, traumas they have suffered, anxiety and depression, and associated SEN conditions.
