FULL DESCRIPTION

Graduate Psychology Teaching Assistant

Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire, England
Salary: £480 - 560 per week
Job Type: Full-time, term-time only
Sector: Education

The Role

This is not a passive role. You'll be in the thick of it — working 1:1 and with small groups, supporting pupils with behavioural, emotional, and additional learning needs. You'll collaborate with teachers and SENCOs to deliver tailored strategies, and you'll draw directly on your Psychology background to help young people regulate emotions, build resilience, and genuinely engage with their learning. No two days will look the same. That's the point.

Who We're Looking For

  • Essential:
  • A 2:1 or above in Psychology
  • A genuine enthusiasm for working with children and young people
  • Empathy, patience, and the confidence to take initiative in a busy school environment
  • Right to work in the UK
  • Desirable:
  • Experience working with children with SEN
  • TeamTeach qualification (current or lapsed considered)

Why This Role?

For the right graduate, this is more than a job. It's the launchpad. Whether you're heading towards educational psychology, CAMHS, counselling, or the classroom, the experience you'll gain here is the kind that no textbook can replicate.
