One Pupil. One Relationship. A Lot of Opportunity to Learn.
Protocol Education is recruiting a 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a pupil in a Gateshead school.
This isn't about simply sitting beside a pupil in lessons. You'll get to know how they communicate, what helps them engage and what strategies allow them to feel confident within the school environment.
It's an excellent opportunity for a Psychology graduate who wants to gain genuine experience working with children and young people.
Your Role
You'll provide individualised support throughout the school day, including:
- Helping the pupil engage with lessons
- Breaking down tasks and providing encouragement
- Supporting communication
- Helping with emotional regulation
- Encouraging positive behaviour
- Building confidence
- Supporting friendships and social interaction
- Promoting independence
- Observing changes in behaviour or engagement
- Communicating with teachers and support staff
Why This Role Could Suit a Psychology Graduate
You'll gain practical insight into areas such as:
- Child development
- Behaviour
- Emotional regulation
- Communication
- Individual differences
- SEND
- Learning and engagement
It could be valuable experience if you're considering Educational Psychology, Teaching, Clinical Psychology, SEND, Counselling or other child-focused careers.
What We're Looking For
You don't need years of school experience.
We want someone who is:
Patient | Reliable | Observant | Empathetic | Adaptable | Positive
A Psychology degree is desirable, although graduates from related subjects may also be considered.
