  • Interested in pursuing a career in educational psychology, teaching, therapy, or SEND.
  • Patient, empathetic, and proactive - with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Previous experience supporting children (in school, tutoring, volunteering or similar) is desirable but not essential.
  • A commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of young learners.
What We Offer:
  • A supportive and inclusive school community.
  • Ongoing training and guidance from experienced staff and SEND professionals.
  • A valuable opportunity to gain school-based experience relevant to further studies or professional training.
  • The competitive daily rate is £85 - £95 PAYE and is paid weekly.
  • A pathway into long-term SEND roles or further study in education and psychology.
