• Deliver 1:1 and small group interventions, following evidence-based strategies
• Support assessments, data collection, and monitoring of student progress
• Assist with social skills, emotional regulation, and communication development
• Contribute to reports and intervention planning, gaining insight into professional educational psychology practice

• Enthusiastic, empathetic, and highly motivated to work with students with SEND
• Keen to learn from a multidisciplinary team in a real-world school environment
• Interested in progressing towards Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, or Teaching careers
