Psychology, Criminology & Youth Studies Graduates Wanted
Launch Your Career Supporting Children & Young People

Have you recently graduated and want a career where you can genuinely make a difference?

Whether you've studied Psychology, Criminology, Youth Studies, Youth Work, Sociology, Childhood Studies, Education or a related degree, this could be the perfect opportunity to gain invaluable experience supporting vulnerable children within schools.

Aspire People works in partnership with Primary and Specialist SEND schools across South Manchester and Stockport to recruit outstanding support staff who can make a lasting impact on the lives of children facing barriers to education.

Working closely with Headteachers, SENDCOs and Senior Leadership Teams, we help schools identify the right people to support some of their most vulnerable pupils-those who need consistency, encouragement and positive relationships to help them succeed.

The Role

As a Teaching Assistant or Behaviour Support Assistant, you'll work alongside experienced school staff to support pupils who may:

Experience Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
Be disengaged from education.
Struggle with emotional regulation or behaviour.
Have experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences.
Be in the care system or have challenging home circumstances.
Have Autism, ADHD or other additional needs.
Experience emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA).
Need additional support to build confidence, resilience and positive relationships.

Support may be delivered on a 1:1 basis, within small intervention groups or alongside the class teacher, helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and achieve positive outcomes.

Psychology

Youth Studies
Youth & Community Work
