The SEN children are aged 3 to 11 and require consistent, ongoing support in order to ensure they have the highest quality of care and child-centred support.

You will be working in a small class of 12 SEN children, alongside therapists, psychologists, teachers and other support staff.

This is a FANTASTIC opportunity for any Psychology Graduate to work alongside the therapists and psychologists based on-site at school.
