Psychology Graduate – SEND

Are you a Psychology graduate looking to gain valuable hands-on experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?

Are you considering a future career in Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Teaching, or another child-focused profession?

We are currently seeking a dedicated Psychology Graduate to work in specialist SEND schools and alternative provisions. This is a rewarding opportunity to support children and young people with a range of additional needs while gaining invaluable classroom experience in a supportive and inclusive educational environment.

Working alongside experienced teachers and SEND professionals, you'll help pupils overcome barriers to learning, build confidence, and achieve their individual goals while developing the practical skills needed for a successful career in education or psychology.

💡 What We're Looking For

  • A degree in Psychology or a closely related subject.
  • A genuine passion for supporting children and young people with SEND.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A patient, resilient, and proactive approach.
  • Experience working with children or vulnerable adults is desirable but not essential.
  • Ability to provide two recent references.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
