Psychology Graduate? Not sure what comes next..... You’ve studied behaviour, child development, mental health and communication… but now you’re wondering how to actually use it in the real world. This is where it starts to click We’re working with specialist schools across Leeds & Wakefield looking for Psychology graduates who are calm, curious, resilient, and ready to make a genuine difference. £93–£118 per day Leeds Immediate & September starts available Full-time 5 Days a week in term time... What the role actually looks like This isn’t sitting behind a desk analysing case studies. It’s hands-on experience supporting children and young people with:

  • SEMH needs
  • Autism and ADHD
  • Behavioural challenges
  • Trauma-informed support
  • Additional learning needs
You’ll work in specialist schools, SEND settings, and alternative provisions, helping students regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with learning. The day-to-day?
  • ️ Building trust with students who need consistency
  • ️ Supporting emotional regulation and communication
  • ️ Using psychology in real, practical situations

Those little breakthrough moments? They matter more than you think Why Psychology graduates love this route If you’re considering:
  • Educational Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Careers
  • Teaching
  • Speech & Language Therapy
  • Social Work
…this gives you proper hands-on experience before committing long term. You’ll gain:
  • Valuable classroom and SEN experience
  • Skills that genuinely strengthen postgraduate applications
  • A route into permanent education and mental health roles
  • Support from consultants who actually understand the sector
You’ll fit right in if you…
  • ️ Are naturally empathetic
  • ️ Stay calm under pressure
  • ️ Want to understand behaviour, not just manage it
  • ️ Are proactive and ready to learn
  • ️ Have experience supporting young people, professionally or personally
