Why consider this role?
A Psychology degree gives you the theory.
Working directly with pupils gives you the context.
You will begin to understand how additional needs affect learning, relationships, communication and behaviour in real situations rather than case studies.
For someone planning further professional training, that experience can be extremely valuable.
Pay: £95–£110 per day, depending on experience.
