This role is particularly suited to aspiring educational or clinical psychologists, teachers, or anyone interested in mental health, SEN support, or youth work. You will receive guidance from an experienced SENDCo and collaborate with a committed team of graduate assistants—many of whom move on to further study or training programmes.

  • A First-Class or 2:1 degree in Psychology from a Top 20 UK University
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills

As an Autism Support Assistant, you will work closely with students focusing on those with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), as well as associated needs such as ADHD and anxiety.
