Graduate Psychology Teaching Assistant | Leeds | Up to £560/week | Full-Time | Term-Time

September 2026 Positions Available

Your Psychology degree. Real classrooms. Real impact.

You've spent years studying human behaviour, development, and the mind. Now it's time to put that knowledge to work where it matters most — with young people who need it.

We're looking for Psychology graduates who are ready to step into schools across Leeds and make a genuine difference, from the youngest pupils in EYFS right through to post-16 learners navigating some of the most formative years of their lives.

Whether you're available now or looking ahead to September 2026, we want to hear from you.

What's on offer

  • Up to £560 per week — full-time, term-time only, Monday to Friday
  • Hands-on experience across a wide age range in real school environments
  • A powerful springboard into educational psychology, therapeutic work, or a career in teaching
  • Immediate start positions available now
  • September 2026 positions — register your interest today and secure your place early

The role

This isn't a passive role. You'll be in the thick of it — working 1:1 and with small groups, supporting pupils with behavioural, emotional, and additional learning needs. You'll collaborate with teachers and SENCOs to deliver tailored strategies, and you'll draw directly on your Psychology background to help young people regulate emotions, build resilience, and genuinely engage with their learning.

No two days will look the same. That's the point.

Who we're looking for

Essential:

  • A 2:1 or above in Psychology
  • A genuine enthusiasm for working with children and young people
  • Empathy, patience, and the confidence to take initiative in a busy school environment
  • Right to work in the UK

Desirable:

  • Experience working with children with SEN
  • TeamTeach qualification (current or lapsed considered)

Why this role?

For the right graduate, this is more than a job. It's the launchpad. Whether you're heading towards educational psychology, CAMHS, counselling, or the classroom, the experience you'll gain here is the kind that no textbook can replicate.

Interviewing now for immediate positions. September 2026 roles filling fast — register your interest today and get ahead of the queue.
