Start your journey toward a career in Clinical Psychology with Forever Teaching
Are you a Psychology graduate or considering a change in direction towards mental health or therapy-based work? Are you looking for hands-on, practical experience in a specialist SEND setting to explore if Clinical or Educational Psychology is your future?
Forever Teaching is working in partnership with a fantastic specialist SEN school in Salford that supports children aged 4–16 with Autism and a range of co-occurring neurodivergent conditions. We’re recruiting passionate and committed Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to join their team — perfect for someone who wants to gain direct, meaningful experience before progressing to further study or training.
Why This Role Could Be For You:
Whether you're a recent Psychology graduate or someone considering a career switch into the world of mental health, this opportunity offers genuine insight into the daily realities of working with vulnerable children. If you're considering further study (such as a Master's in Clinical or Educational Psychology), this role is a chance to test your motivation and develop the essential skills needed to thrive in the field.
The Role:
* Support pupils aged 4–16 with Autism and a variety of support needs, from mild to complex.
* Work alongside children with conditions like ADHD, sensory processing differences, OCD, and communication needs.
* Help create and maintain a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom environment.
* Observe and contribute to therapeutic interventions such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and creative therapies including drama, art, and music.
* Collaborate closely with teachers, therapists, and SEN professionals to deliver tailored support and learning.
* Apply practical psychology-based techniques, including CBT approaches and sensory regulation strategies.
* Play an important role in emotional regulation and the development of coping mechanisms for young people.
* Assist with personal care where appropriate, promoting independence and dignity.
Who We're Looking For:
* Psychology graduates or individuals seeking to transition into a mental health or SEND career.
* People genuinely interested in Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, or similar pathways.
* Individuals who are naturally empathetic, patient, and committed to supporting neurodiverse young people.
* Someone curious about how psychological theory plays out in a real-world school environment.
* Resilient, reflective candidates who can handle the emotional and practical challenges of the role.
* A commitment to the full academic year to ensure stability and consistency for the students.
What You'll Gain:
* Hands-on experience working within a specialist SEND setting.
* A strong foundation in Autism support and exposure to a wide range of therapeutic strategies.
* Valuable insights to inform your career or academic decisions in psychology or mental health.
* The potential to secure a long-term or permanent role in a specialist setting.
* The chance to make a real, lasting impact on children’s lives.
