Are you a recent Criminology Graduate looking for a graduate opportunity? Are you hoping to work with vulnerable children who suffer with their mental health? Can you be a positive role model?

A unique mental health school in Wheatley are looking for a Criminology Graduate to work as a Learning Support Assistant starting as soon as possible. As a Learning Support Assistant, you will be working with children with childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, attachment disorders and PTSD. You will help mentor and guide them through the school day, whilst also ensuring they are emotionally and therapeutically supported.

The majority of students in the school have complex mental health needs, and come from challenging backgrounds. The school adopts a therapeutic approach in the classroom, and therefore you will play an instrumental role in rolling this out, helping to equip the students with resilience and a quality education. You will collaborate with Teachers, Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists to ensure the safety and well being of each pupil.

The ideal Learning Support Assistant will be bubbly and outgoing, with a real passion to help vulnerable children. You will bring a positive energy to the classroom and be an exemplary role model to the students. A Criminology or Psychology graduate would be perfect!

As a Criminology Graduate, you will be able to utilise knowledge from your degree and help to understand the behaviour of the students, helping to identify triggers that lead to negative behaviour, as well as learning challenges. You will gain first-hand experience working with children who are vulnerable to criminal influence, and learn de-escalation techniques to resolve any conflicts or challenging behaviour. This practical experience will set you aside from other graduates and put you in good stead to secure a PhD or Criminal Justice role in the future!
