Are you a Psychology graduate looking to pursue a career in Educational Psychology or adolescent mental health services? Are you keen to gain hands-on experience supporting secondary-aged pupils with additional needs?

Milk Education is recruiting for Learning Support Assistants to work in secondary schools across Leeds, supporting students aged 11–16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, autism spectrum conditions, and other special educational needs (SEN).

This is an ideal role for graduates applying for MSc Educational Psychology or Assistant EP roles in the future, as it offers in-depth exposure to school-based intervention and adolescent developmental needs.
