Are you a Psychology graduate from a top UK university with a First-Class or high 2:1 degree? Are you ready to gain meaningful experience supporting teenage boys with additional learning needs?

We’re working with a high-performing secondary school and sixth form in Barnet to recruit a Learning Support Assistant to support boys aged 14–18. This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring educational psychologists, youth workers, therapists, or those interested in adolescent mental health.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you’ll provide tailored support to pupils in KS4 and KS5 – both in-class and on a 1:1 basis – helping students with Autism, ADHD, and other SEND needs to access learning and reach their potential. You’ll be joining a dedicated team of psychology-minded graduates who share a passion for student welfare and inclusion.

The school’s SEND department is led by an experienced SENDCo with a background in psychology and therapeutic education. You’ll benefit from regular mentoring, training sessions, and a well-resourced support structure that values graduate input and professional development.

What we’re looking for:
  • A First-Class or high 2:1 degree in Psychology (or related field)
  • Academic background from a top UK university
  • Interest in adolescent development, education, or youth mental health
  • Commitment from September 2025 to July 2026 (term-time only)
If you’re keen to build your experience in a vibrant secondary setting and support teenage boys through critical stages of their education, this role offers a powerful stepping stone toward a future career in mental health or education.
