Are you a recent or soon-to-be Psychology or Criminology graduate with ambitions to become an Educational Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, or Mental Health Support Worker?

Do you want to gain hands-on experience supporting children with special educational needs and mental health challenges?

We are currently working with a forward-thinking primary school in Aylesbury that is seeking passionate and motivated graduates to join their team as Mental Health Assistants from April 2026

As a Psychology Graduate Mental Health Assistant, you will work closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff to help students achieve both academically and emotionally.

What We're Looking For:

  • A degree (or expected degree) in Psychology or Criminology
  • A genuine interest in supporting children with additional needs
  • A commitment to working full-time for at least 12 months - consistency is key for these students
  • Any prior experience working with children (formally or informally) is beneficial, but not essential
  • Strong interpersonal skills, resilience, and a proactive mindset

Why Apply?

  • Gain invaluable experience working in an SEN/SEMH setting
  • Work in a supportive, collaborative school environment
