Job Description:
We are seeking a recent Psychology or Criminology graduate to join our support team as a Mental Health Support Specialist. This is an ideal role for a graduate hoping to become a trained Psychologist in the future, with a genuine interest in supporting children with psychological needs.
The students we work with come from diverse backgrounds, with some facing challenges related to trauma, neglect, attachment issues, and anxiety.

You will also play a role in identifying potential triggers for the pupils in regard to their trauma and mental health needs.
This is the perfect opportunity for a Psychology Graduate to build their experience working with children who need psychological support. You will help facilitate various therapeutic techniques, as well as employing restorative practices aimed at promoting mental well-being. You will also have the chance to work alongside Psychologists and Therapists based at our school, setting you aside from other graduates.
The ideal candidate will be proactive and friendly, with a passion for mental health. Any previous experience working with children and/or adults with additional needs would be beneficial.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with staff members to educate pupils and manage challenging behaviors
- Work on a one-to-one basis with pupils to ensure they are on task
- Identify potential triggers for pupils in regard to their trauma and mental health needs
- Facilitate various therapeutic techniques and employ restorative practices
- Work alongside Psychologists and Therapists to promote mental well-being
