Psychology Graduate

Psychology graduate? Wondering what’s next?

You’ve studied behaviour, development, mental health…
but how do you actually use it?

This is where it clicks

We’re working with schools around Leeds and Harrogate who need people like you, calm, curious, and ready to make a real difference.

Immediate starts available

What you’ll actually be doing

This isn’t textbook psychology.

It’s real life.

You’ll be supporting young people in specialist schools and alternative provisions, helping them regulate, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with learning.

Think:

• Building trust with students who need consistency
• Supporting SEMH and additional needs
• Turning theory into something you can see working
• Being the reason a student has a better day

Those small wins? They’re everything

Why Psychology grads love this route

Not sure whether to go into educational psychology, mental health, or teaching?

This gives you a proper feel for it, before you commit.

• Hands-on experience that actually counts
• A foot in the door for long-term careers
• Roles that often turn permanent
• Support from a consultant who gets it

You’ll fit right in if you…

✔️ Are naturally empathetic
✔️ Stay calm under pressure
✔️ Want to understand behaviour, not just manage it
✔️ Are ready to get stuck in and learn

No experience in schools? That’s okay.
If you’ve got the right attitude, we’ll support the rest.

Interested?

No pressure, just options
