Psychology Graduate Teaching Assistant - Reading

ASAP Start - Full-Time Position

Are you a recent Psychology Graduate eager to gain meaningful, hands-on experience in a specialist education setting?

A highly regarded SEN and SEMH school in Reading is seeking a compassionate and motivated Psychology Graduate Teaching Assistant to join their team. This is an excellent full-time opportunity for aspiring Clinical, Educational, or Child Psychologists to build practical experience working with children and young people with Autism, ADHD, SEMH, and other complex needs.

Working alongside therapists and educators, you will support students aged 5-16 through both academic and emotional challenges. You will play a vital role in promoting positive mental health, supporting behaviour management, and helping to implement therapeutic strategies.

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.
