Psychology Graduate – Mental Health Assistant
Turn Your Degree Into Something That Truly Matters
Finished your psychology degree and wondering what’s next?
This could be exactly what you’re looking for.
We’re searching for a Mental Health Assistant to join a specialist school in Reading, supporting students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. These young people are bright, resilient, and full of potential — but many have faced significant challenges in their lives and need the right support to help them succeed.
No two days are the same in this role. It’s fast-paced, rewarding, emotional, and genuinely life-changing — for both the students and for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll work closely with students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups, helping them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
Your day-to-day could include:
* Helping students manage emotions and develop healthy coping strategies
* Building trusted relationships that give students confidence and stability
* Supporting social development and modelling positive behaviours
* Working alongside teachers, therapists, and pastoral teams to provide consistent support
* Being the calm, encouraging presence students can rely on — especially on difficult days
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to know everything already — but you do need the right mindset.
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Passionate about mental health and supporting young people
* Patient, empathetic and positive
* Ready to learn and grow every day
* A strong team player with a good understanding of safeguarding
The Details
* Specialist school based in Reading
* ASAP Start – September start available too!
* £90 - £110 per day
* Full time
* Ideal for psychology graduates
* Incredible hands on experience for future career in psychology and mental health
If you’re looking for more than “just a job” and want a role where you’ll grow personally and professionally while changing lives along the way — we’d love to hear from you.
