🎓 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.

💷 £93–£118 per day
📍 Leeds & surrounding areas
📅 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.

No pressure, just options 😊
