Looking for a role where every day makes a difference?

We're working with a supportive primary school in Newcastle seeking a Psychology Graduate to work closely with two Year 1 pupils who have EHCPs and additional SEND needs. One pupil is non-verbal, making this an excellent opportunity to develop practical communication and SEND support skills.

• Encouraging communication and social interaction
• Supporting emotional regulation and sensory needs
• Working with experienced SEND professionals
• Contributing to pupils' progress and confidence

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Psychology or a similar field
• Genuine interest in SEND and inclusive education
• Calm and patient approach
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Ability to work collaboratively within a school team

Why This Role Stands Out

• Excellent foundation for Educational Psychology training
• Exposure to EHCP-led support and SEND practices
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced school professionals
• Chance to make a real impact during a crucial stage of development
