The role:

Supporting students in the classroom-helping them stay engaged, focused, and confident
Providing hands-on, practical support tailored to each student's individual needs
Assisting with interventions (think speech & language programmes, emotional regulation strategies, and structured routines)
Helping students navigate social situations and build communication skills
Being a consistent, encouraging presence in their school day

You'll:

Work closely with students with Autism and complex needs
See psychological theories play out in real life (and learn what actually works!)
Gain invaluable experience for careers in Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, or Mental Health Services
Build confidence, resilience, and seriously impressive skills 

What We're Looking For

Someone curious, proactive, and ready to learn
Patience, empathy, and the ability to connect with young people
A calm, positive attitude-even when things get challenging
Bonus points if you've got experience with Autism or SEN (but not essential!) 

The Best Bits

Work alongside a supportive team who genuinely care
