Transform Lives Using Your Psychology Degree
Are you a Psychology Graduate living in or near Blackburn? Do you have a deep interest in social-emotional development and a desire to support young people facing complex mental health challenges?
We are looking for a resilient, high-energy graduate to join our multidisciplinary team. This role provides invaluable "front-line" experience for anyone pursuing a career in Educational Psychology, Forensic Psychology, or Mental Health Nursing.
The Role: Supporting KS2 to KS4
Working within an SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) environment requires a unique blend of empathy and firm boundaries. You will support students across Key Stage 2, 3, and 4 who may have attachment disorders, trauma-related needs, or ADHD.
*Emotional Regulation: Use your understanding of psychological theory to help pupils manage "crisis" moments.
*Academic Mentoring: Break down barriers to learning for students who have been disengaged from mainstream education.
*Nurture Groups: Lead small-group interventions focused on social skills and self-esteem.
*Restorative Practice: Work alongside the school’s therapy team to implement long-term behavioural strategies.
Why This Blackburn School?
*Specialist Environment: A smaller-than-average school where every child is known by name.
*Career Progression: Many of our graduates move on to funded Doctorate programs or internal pastoral leadership roles.
*Training: Full "Team Teach" (Positive Handling) and Trauma-Informed Practice training provided.
*Location: Easily accessible via the M65 and local Blackburn public transport links.
Candidate Requirements
*Degree: 2:1 or higher in Psychology (or a related Social Science).
*Character: Resilience is key. You must be able to remain calm under pressure and not take challenging behaviour personally.
*Experience: Some experience with youth work, coaching, or SEN is preferred, but your attitude and personality are what matter most.
*DBS: An enhanced DBS check is required (we can assist with this).
