Are you a Psychology Graduate looking to gain experience in a primary school setting before training in educational psychology or teaching?
An inclusive and welcoming primary school in Wandsworth is looking for a Psychology Graduate to join them for the full 2025/26 academic year. This is an ideal opportunity for a Psychology Graduate with a keen interest in child development, SEMH, or speech and language support.
You will work across EYFS, KS1 and KS2—supporting pupils with additional needs to access learning, regulate behaviour and build confidence.
As a Psychology Graduate in this primary school role, you will:
- Support children across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 with a range of needs
- Deliver 1:1 and small-group interventions to improve academic and emotional progress
- Be guided by class teachers and the SENCo to support pupils with SEND, SEMH, and EHCPs
- Be matched with classes where your knowledge and interests (e.g. cognition, behaviour, communication) are most relevant
- Build strong relationships with pupils while contributing to a nurturing and inclusive learning environment
This hands-on role will give you excellent experience before pursuing a career in educational psychology, speech and language therapy, or primary teaching.
We’re looking for:
- A 2:1 or above in Psychology
- A calm, patient and emotionally intelligent approach
- A strong interest in working with children in a primary setting
- Commitment to the full academic year
