• Support teachers in creating inclusive and engaging classroom environments.
  
• Monitor student progress and contribute to personalised learning plans.
  
• Collaborate with SENCOs, therapists, and support staff to ensure every child receives the care and guidance they need.
  

What we’re looking for:

• A 1st Class or 2:1 degree in Psychology from a leading UK university.
  
• A genuine interest in working with young people and supporting those with additional learning needs.
  
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with empathy and patience at the core of your approach.
  
• Any experience working with children or vulnerable individuals — whether through tutoring, youth work, mentoring, or volunteering — is highly valued.
  
• A long-term commitment and a passion for pursuing a career in education or psychology.
  

Why join Ribbons & Reeves?

• Gain exceptional experience within supportive school environments that prioritise inclusive education.
