Psychology and Education graduates (Learning support)

Just finished your degree and wondering what’s next?

If you’ve studied Psychology or Education, this is where things get real, in the best way.

We’re working with welcoming schools in Bristol who are looking for graduates who want to make a genuine difference. You’ll be supporting pupils who need a little extra help, whether that’s with learning, confidence, or navigating the school day.

No two days are the same. One minute you’re helping a child crack a tricky maths problem, the next you’re building trust with a pupil who just needs someone in their corner.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting pupils 1:1 or in small groups
• Helping children stay engaged and on track in lessons
• Working closely with teachers and SEN staff
• Encouraging positive behaviour and building confidence
• Creating a calm, supportive environment where pupils can thrive
