Are you a recent Psychology graduate looking to gain hands-on experience in a specialist educational setting? Do you want to work in a role that genuinely supports your next steps in Educational Psychology, Therapy, or SEND Teaching?

This is more than just a graduate role – it’s a chance to be part of a pioneering approach to special education, guided by an experienced leadership team that’s shaping the future of SEND provision.

We are currently seeking a Learning Support Assistant to support in a SEN school based in North Bristol. They are a KS1-5 ASC school who provide a personalised academic, emotional, social, sensory and physical learning experience for autistic students. All the children have a range of needs such as ASD, SEMH and PLMD. The school offers an environment in which pupils experience success and progress, where each individual develops self-confidence and has high self-esteem. They strive for the highest standards and develop a “can-do” approach to learning and social interaction.

You’ll apply your academic knowledge in a practical, supportive environment, helping students to overcome barriers, build trust, and make progress in ways that are meaningful to them. Many psychology graduates go on to pursue careers in Educational or Clinical Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or SEN teaching. This role provides the essential, real-world experience these fields require – while giving you the opportunity to support children who benefit so much from your skills and empathy.
